Background
Landscape architecture as a field deals with the planning and design or arrangement of natural and artificial elements on the land through preservation of existing natural and synthetic resources, and through application of cultural and scientific knowledge.Landscape architecture is the study of design of outdoor spaces, with supporting courses in art, construction, ecology, horticulture and social science in a five year professional program leading to the Bachelor of Landscape Architecture (B.L.A.) degree. The B.L.A. degree is accredited by the American Society of Landscape Architects.
In an effort to maintain an effective balance between students, faculty, and facilities, enrollment in the fourth and fifth years of the program is limited to 15 students each. Students will be evaluated during their third year by the faculty in order to select the most qualified candidates based upon academic achievement and professional potential.
