Bachelor of Landscape Architecture


What Does a Landscape Architect Do?

Landscape architects design the spaces that define a community. By planning parks, campuses, trails, and plazas as well as residential and commercial developments, landscape architects meet the needs and goals of a community while promoting sustainability, resiliency, and artistry.

Landscape architecture involves the design, planning, and management of land - the cross section of art and science.  If tackling problems like these intrigues you, perhaps seeking a degree in landscape architecture is the path for you.

 

Our BLA program focuses on:

  • Design (art, fundamental design skills)
