As a landscape architecture major you'll combine science and art to design positive change in environments and communities around the world. Learn how to draw, the principles of ecological design, and how to present your ideas using specialized software and technologies. Collaborate with local communities to design parks and gardens that foster social development and environmental awareness. All you need is a desire to create something new–the landscape architecture department will show you how to do the rest.
You'll learn how to create outdoor spaces that take people's needs and the ecological context into account. Explore the connections between design and planning, theory and practice, art and technology, school and the "real world," head and hand, and large scale and small scale. Enrollment in the landscape architecture department starts with a pre-major status. Once you are on campus, you will be advised on how and when to declare the landscape architecture major.
