BS Landscape Architecture

The BS program in landscape architecture offers students the opportunity to engage with the community in applied projects that focus on designing sustainable outdoor environments and improving the ecological and social health of the urban environment. Undergraduate landscape architecture program projects can range from large-scale work encompassing urban design, landscape reclamation, open space preservation planning, and landscape ecological design to projects at the more intimate scale of a neighborhood park or residential back yard. Emerging areas of focus include biotechnical design; urban agriculture; construction of greenways, green roofs and living walls; and the design of healing environments. Students complement their design learning with electives from a broad range of approved courses.
