Undergraduate Travel Requirement
In addition to travel within studios, the Bachelor of Landscape Architecture degree requires students to complete at least one travel experience sanctioned by the department.
The majority of students will be required to participate in a faculty-led travel course held during the summer or over spring break. These trips are planned well in advance, and typically require students to save money for flights, and, with international trips, to obtain needed documentation (i.e., a U.S. Passport).
Travel course destinations alternate between domestic and international. Learn more at https://laep.usu.edu/students/travel-requirements1.
Non-LAEP Courses Required for BLA Majors
The following courses taught outside the LAEP Department are required for all BLA majors. Note that several of these courses will also assist in fulfillment of University Studies Requirements.
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.
