Our two-year Master of Advanced Studies in Landscape Architecture program immerses you in a focused research environment, allowing you to synthesize existing knowledge in landscape architecture and progress contemporary concepts in the field. You will work independently and in collaboration with faculty members to investigate specific research themes, culminating in the completion of your thesis. You may enrich this research through related disciplines such as community and regional planning, civil engineering, geography, art history, and visual art.

This program does not fulfill the requirements for licensure. If you already hold a professional degree in landscape architecture or a related field and have a capacity for independent research, this program may be a good choice for you.
