The Master’s Program in Landscape Architecture + Urbanism prepares students to be leaders ready to take on challenges of climate change and environmental injustice through the design and planning of landscapes across scales. Join us to learn how you can contribute to a just and resilient environmental future. Meet faculty, students and staff who will provide guidance on how to apply, what a portfolio might include, and answer other questions you might have to facilitate the application process.
