Landscape Studies, Certificate
In response to the increased and broad interest in landscape topics, the Department of Landscape Architecture offers a Certificate in Landscape Studies.

Potential candidates must apply for admission in accordance with school procedures. Accepted students must complete 5 course units from the Department of Landscape Architecture. Typically, these course units will be elective courses, although courses required for the MLA curriculum such as those from the Theory, Media, and Workshop sequences may be taken with permission from the instructor.
