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.

Have you ever wondered if and how landscapes can help us cope with climate change? Meet the Climate Adaptative Design (ClimAD) Lab, led by Dr. Mariana Fragomeni @maribalfonso Our work focuses understanding how landscapes can be better designed to adapt and mitigate climate stressors, particularly how to reduce urban heat islands. Stay tuned for our website to be inaugurated this upcoming Summer. 

Lab members and alumni: Brian Garzon-Romero, Tracey Miller, Katherine Day, Aaron Johnson
