Recommended Electives
The Landscape Architecture
Program and the larger University of Massachusetts resources can
provide students with exciting learning opportunities in several
areas. These University resources can either broaden one's education
or can help students to develop strength or expertise in an aspect
of landscape architecture for which the student possesses a special
talent or expresses an interest. Below we have listed three areas
of concentration. Some students may wish to select electives in
several of these areas to broaden their education. Others may wish
to take several of these electives in one of the concentrations,
to develop a special strength in a given concentration. Some may
wish to select electives from the large number of relevant courses
offered at UMass.
