Concurrent Degree Program in Architecture and Landscape Architecture
The Departments of Landscape Architecture and Architecture have developed a concurrent program in Building and Site Design that leads to two professional degrees: Master of Architecture and Master of Landscape Architecture.
The Concurrent Degree Program in Landscape Architecture and Architecture seeks to combine an understanding of ecological and social factors with the design of buildings and sites. This program was designed to meet the need for professionals who combine an understanding of individual building design with larger-scale site design and the cultural and natural factors that shape environments at all scales. Neither program alone can provide the range of skills and understanding the College of Environmental Design considers essential in improving the quality of the built environment.
The concurrent program curriculum provides students with an efficient, structured approach to achieving competence in both architecture and landscape architecture. A total of 72 units is required for students who have satisfied all prerequisites with a minimum of 24 units in each department. Students are required to complete a common core; take courses in each of the following five areas: natural factors, social factors, history and theory, methods, and application studios; develop an area of specialization (12 units); and complete a thesis.
This program is intended for exceptionally qualified students who have an undergraduate degree in architecture or landscape architecture and who satisfy the admissions requirements of either the two-year M. Arch program or the two-year M.L.A. program.
Applicants who are interested in the above concurrent degree
program should apply to the Department of Landscape Architecture
and Environmental Planning by December 15th. Admission is
contingent upon the applicant's ability to complete the concurrent
degree requirements within three years.
