Landscape Architecture
The program in Landscape Architecture offers graduate studies leading to the Master of Landscape Architecture. The program is designed to develop professional specialized skills in the field and to provide a unique educational experience. Issues dealing with design process, natural resource management, behavioral response, computer visualization and landscape planning are emphasized as separate specializations in response to the profession's leadership potentials. Programs are planned to encourage applications from a variety of backgrounds. Emphasis is placed on the development of communication, collaboration and problem solving skills associated with land design issues.
(LAND)
601. Landscape Architectural Design Theory. (2-9). Credit 5.
Principles and application of landscape architectural design theory, relationships of two and three dimensional space as they relate to the natural and built environment, and illustrative communication. Prerequisites: Graduate classification and approval of instructor.
602. Landscape Architectural Design Application. (2-9). Credit 5.
