Landscape Architecture | Department of Plant Science and Landscape Architecture

We offer an accredited, professional Bachelor of Science degree in Landscape Architecture (BSLA), as well as a Master of Science (MS), and a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD). We are a small program where the students and faculty form a strong, close-knit community. We are composed of approximately 60 undergraduate students, a small group of graduate students, and six faculty members. We design, research, teach, and do public outreach, imagining vibrant communities and creating places of value; while protecting and restoring our natural and cultural resources. We strive toward actionable and collaborative practices that address climate justice and social equity. If you are a spatial thinker and you love art and design and you love plants and horticulture, then this is the program for you. Learn more about us.

Last Friday, the students in Design Drawing taught by Jill Desimini (@fromfallow) shared their work from the first three modules: topographical inquiry, live matter, and hydrological flows with faculty and peers. The course focuses on key landscapes across campus to introduce landscape and representation concepts across media and scale. It was a day of beautiful work and fun conversation. Thank you to all who participated! #hardworkpaysoff #engagedlearning #landscapearchitecture #fieldwork #studio @uconnpsla @uconncahnr
