Program Overview

The Master of Landscape Architecture (MLA) is a professional degree program that prepares students for work as design professionals in design firms, nonprofits, and governmental agencies. This program has been recognized by the National Center for Education Statistics as a STEM program under the category of 30.3301 - Sustainability Studies. MLA students take a series of lecture and studio design courses, beginning with an introduction to landscape design principles in the first year and culminating in an advanced research and studio design project in the graduating year. The three-year first professional degree curriculum is for students who have a bachelor’s degree in a non-design field. The MLA is a degree that is accredited by the LAAB (Landscape Architecture Accreditation Board), which allows graduates to sit for the professional license exam (LARE). The two-year post-professional degree curriculum is for students who have a bachelor’s degree in landscape architecture or a related design field.
