Degree RequirementsThe curriculum leading to the MLA degree consists of three areas: core courses, electives, and a thesis or master project. Students with a bachelor's degree in Landscape Architecture or an approved Environmental Design degree must earn 48 credits within a two year curriculum. For those possessing substantial professional experience, a special program can be structured around specific research interests. It is also possible for qualified students to earn a joint degree in Landscape Architecture and Regional Planning. Students who do not have a design background are required to take additional courses beyond the 48 credits within a three-year curriculum. The core curriculum of the MLA Program is as follows: MLA Core Curriculum - 3 Year Program
Notes:For students entering the three year curriculum, all required first year courses do not count toward the 48 required credits for a Master’s degree. Students must, however, maintain a “B” average in these classes. Waivers: If a previous course covered the majority of a subject area you may be able to waive the class. You do not get course credit and must take another class in its place. In cases when the previous course covered 50-70 percent of the subject area of a core course, the student may take a 1-2 credit independent course with the instructor to satisfy the missing requirements. The appropriate path is negotiated among the student, instructor and program director. The goal is to ensure that each student satisfies all core requirements of the three-year curriculum in the shortest time period. Students must request all waivers from the program director within the first two weeks after enrollment. Waiver forms are available from the graduate secretary of the department.

Notes: Students entering the two year curriculum with undergraduate design degrees usually need to take several of the first year courses to ensure that they satisfy the department’s three-year curriculum requirements. These students can replace their elective courses with courses from the first year curriculum that cannot be waived. These courses can be counted toward the 48 required credits. A 3.0 average must be maintained for all courses taken, and a maximum of 2 C’s is permitted during the student’s entire residency. Studio selection for advanced students will be done in consultation with the program director, based upon the student’s previous studio work, projects, and portfolio.
