Overview

The graduate program in Landscape Architecture at University of Virginia challenges students to imagine new landscape systems through rigorous research, design speculation, and the deployment of nascent technologies. We are committed to preparing our graduates to be critical thinkers and global citizens to form a more inclusive and resilient world while shaping the next generation of landscape practice.

Features

Our graduate program is comprised of students coming from a wide variety of academic backgrounds, both with and without prior studies in landscape architecture. Our students are encouraged to shape their own individual educational trajectories by integrating their design or non-design undergraduate backgrounds, intellectual interests, and skills into their graduate studies in landscape architecture. This fosters a rich and diverse thinking community united around a common interest to create yet-unimagined and powerful propositions for a resilient built environment.

Accreditation

The Master in Landscape Architecture program is accredited by the National Landscape Architecture Accreditation Board (LAAB).
