Curriculum
The undergraduate landscape architecture curriculum is a broadbased
course of study that provides the skills necessary for professional
practice. In addition to the required Landscape Architecture courses,
students are expected to fulfill college requirements in biological,
physical and social sciences, humanities, and written and oral expression.
The core Landscape Architecture undergraduate
curriculum is centered on a sequence of design studio courses. Studio
teaching involves students and faculty in a one-on-one relationship.
This close interaction typifies the program. Each studio requires
a different set of principles and theories and mastery of aspects
of the media of landscape—land form, plants, water, engineering,
and construction. The subject matter in each studio builds on the
subjects of previous studios.
Concentration
Landscape Architecture students are also
required to develop a
concentration to extend their knowledge of
design.
