The Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning (LAEP) Department offers an accelerated Bachelor+Master of Landscape Architecture (B+MLA) that provides a seamless course of study beginning with pre-graduate studies during the Bachelor of Landscape Architecture (BLA) senior year, completion of Master of Landscape Architecture graduate studies (MLA) the following year, and conferral of both the BLA and MLA degrees concurrently upon completion.
The accelerated B+MLA allows advanced LAEP undergraduates the opportunity to pursue a combined bachelor’s and master’s degree program within an accelerated time frame of five academic years. This provides graduates a further competitive advantage in the professional marketplace and fosters integration and interaction between undergraduate and graduate programs while maintaining the expectations and disciplinary exposure of each individual degree program.
The mission of the accelerated B+MLA program in Landscape Architecture is to (1) prepare future professionals to address the dynamic issues and scales of landscapes across the Intermountain West and around the world, and (2) engage in creative intellectual work that contributes to the theory and practice of landscape architecture.

Licensure Notification
This program typically leads to licensure and is accredited by the Landscape Architectural Accreditation Board (LAAB) to meet the educational requirements for licensure in the United States and its territories. USU has not determined if the program curriculum meets all the licensure requirements for individual jurisdictions, as each sets its own requirements for licensure and may have additional requirements such as a supervised employment period. Students wishing to work within the United States should review the qualifications for their intended jurisdiction, and complete the LARE exam for that state or territory.
