The Program:

Landscape Architecture offers a three-year master of landscape architecture license qualifying degree, administered through the Graduate School, for those who have a four-year undergraduate degree in another field. The major is composed of several parts: core courses related to professional education in landscape architecture; a concentration in a subject related to the core courses; and free electives. Requirements of the three-year M.L.A. curriculum include 90 credits, six resident units, satisfactory completion of the core curriculum courses, and a thesis or a capstone studio.

The department also offers a two-year master of landscape architecture advanced degree program, administered through the Graduate School, for those with accredited degrees in landscape architecture or architecture. The two-year program entails core courses in the discipline and the development of concentrations in subject-matter areas such as landscape history and theory, landscape ecology and urban horticulture, the cultural landscape, site/landscape and art, or urban design.

Both of these degrees are accredited by the Landscape Architecture Accreditation Board (LAAB) of the American Society of Landscape Architects.

Dual-Degree Options:

Graduate students can earn a master of landscape architecture and a master of science (horticulture) or a master of city and regional planning simultaneously. Students need to be accepted into both fields of study to engage in a dual-degree program and must fulfill requirements of both fields of study. Thesis requirements are generally integrated for dual degrees.
