Landscape Architecture (Advanced Professional Degree) - MLA


College of Agriculture and Applied Sciences

Department of Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning

 

The MLA-Advanced Professional degree is a two-year accredited program of study. Applicants must hold baccalaureate degrees in landscape architecture from accredited programs. The advanced degree allows outstanding students to expand their knowledge in areas of special interest under the supervision of a major professor and supervisory committee.

The Graduate Program Director advises all incoming students until they have selected a thesis topic. Once a thesis topic has been identified, it is the students responsibility to seek a major professor and committee members from within the LAEP Department faculty.

Thesis Courses (8 credits)


A Plan A thesis or Plan B paper/project option is required and is to be negotiated with the candidate, major professor, and supervisory committee. Students will then either complete an additional 3 credits of LAEP 6970  or 3 credits in LAEP 6960 , depending on the student’s plan type.

Plan A


Plan B


Elective Courses (16 credits)


With the assistance of a student’s major professor and committee members, elective courses can be selected to meet academic interests and align with thesis objectives.
