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.

The Master of Advanced Studies in Landscape Architecture degree requires the completion of 30 credits, which includes your thesis. You will largely design your own trajectory and specialized studies through elective coursework in interdisciplinary fields. In your first year, you will broaden your knowledge in academic research and electives to prepare for your research thesis in the second year. The degree normally takes two years to complete.
