Overview

We have a 50+ year legacy of training graduate students in advanced eco-systemic design methods to establish strong, well-defined, and mutually life-sustaining and enhancing relationships between people and the land. Our departments motto is ‘Bravely Curious’, inspired by how we embrace expanding the practice of landscape architecture in pursuit of making the world a better place.

Key Features

Our studio culture embraces collaboration as a means of enable every student to excel based on their individual abilities, interests, and values. Our graduate studios are next to each other in the Boltz Courtyard of Building 2, the cultural heart of our BSLA and MLA programs.Our MLA 1 General Standing 72-unit curriculum is crafted for students without a design background, providing the essential foundation of professional and advanced skills in three years.For students with a prior Environmental Design degree, our 48-unit MLA 2 Advanced Standing track provides opportunities to develop deeper expertise and critical abilities in two years.Culminating our 2- and 3-year MLA tracks is a year-long collaborative Master’s Project Studio (formerly known as the ‘606 Studio’) that works with a public agency or non-profit community/environmental organization providing pro bono design services.
