Welcome
TEST -- Our Program offers an accredited, professional Bachelor of Science degree in landscape architecture. We have a small Program where the students and faculty form a strong, close-knit community. We have about 50 undergraduate students enrolled in the Program, a small group of graduate students and 6 faculty members closely involved in the Program. We strives for excellence in the broad-based preparation of a consistent, high-quality flow of professional landscape architects into regional and national practice and graduate study. We design, research, teach, and do community outreach to solve the complex problems of planning vibrant communities and designing places of value while protecting and restoring our natural resources. We promote and encourage academic-based collaborative research with an emphasis on “real world” projects as they apply to sustainable development.
