The Master of Landscape Architecture is a professional and academic degree dealing with the manipulation of outdoor and public spaces to achieve socio-behavioural, environmental, and/or aesthetic outcomes.
Curriculum and Requirements
Master of Landscape Architecture (MLA) programs typically incorporate course work, formal critique, and independent research, culminating in a design thesis. Core "lecture" or "seminar" courses cover landscape architectural social theory, ecology, site technology, engineering, and professional practice. Studio-based course work covers urban landscape architecture, design, and theory.[1] The independent research component of Master of Landscape Architecture programs requires that students develop a program of independent study and research leading to a design thesis. Such theses explore the connections between landscape architecture and the humanities, environmental studies, social sciences, and engineering, so as to generate novel models of contemporary landscape architectural practice.[2]
