Landscape Architecture
(LAND)
200. Introduction to Landscape Architectural
Practice. (1-0). Credit 1. I
Explores and evaluates the diversity of landscape
architectural practice; defines the traditional practice forms
and examines evolving and boundary expanding opportunities
for future practice; introduces the departmental curriculum
and faculty.*
240. History of Landscape Architecture.
(3-0). Credit 3. I
An introduction to the history of land use and
design from prehistory to the present in areas other than the
United States; emphasis on European and Asian planning and
design precedent. Africa and Australia are also discussed.
Prerequisite: Sophomore classification or higher.*
254. Landscape Architecture Communications
I. (2-4). Credit 3.
Introduction to basic drafting and drawing required

concepts, principles of graphic composition and pencil sketching
techniques. Prerequisite: ENDS 115 or approval of instructor.
255. Landscape Architectural Communications
II. (2-4). Credit 3. I
Advanced study in traditional and computer-based
communication techniques in landscape architecture including
studio explorations in concept and analysis graphics, color
sketching, perspective drawing and rendering, desktop publishing,
image capturing and manipulation, and compilation of graphic
presentations; lecture, demonstrations and studio assignments.
Prerequisite: LAND 254 or approval of instructor.*
310. Landscape Theory. (3-0). Credit 3.

landscape architecture. Prerequisites: LAND 255; junior classification.*
319. Landscape Design II. (2-7). Credit
4. II
Continuation of LAND 318; basic design principles
