Master of Arts [M.A] Landscape Architecture and Urbanism

  • First, the programs are intended for students who already have earned a first degree or the equivalent in landscape architecture or archi­tecture, as well as students entering design studies after obtaining a degree in another field. The emphasis is on truly advanced study based on the knowledge and skills to engage complex issues and to undertake ambitious explorations. Graduates are pre­pared for leadership opportunities in profes­sional practice as well as in higher education.
  • A second emphasis is on urban landscapes, and on the responsibility of design profes­sions to create the qualities and meanings of our urban futures and to make critical contributions to the reclamation of degraded natural systems and places.
  • Third, place-making is a collaborative responsibility that requires leadership from professionals across the entire domain of planning and design. This requires seamless relationships between programs, students and faculty engaged in architecture, landscape architecture, preservation, building science and planning studies.
