Overview

The Landscape Architecture program at the University of Minnesota prepares students to approach complex issues facing urban, suburban, and rural environments and envision improvements at multiple scales across human and ecological systems.

Key Features

The program's urban location and close proximity to the Mississippi River and the Great Lakes allows students to explore the impacts of climate change, urbanization, social, and environmental injustice across a wide range of complex and challenging landscapes.

These challenges include water scarcity and water quality and its impact on urban and agricultural regions, warming temperatures, reduced biodiversity, riverine flooding, as well as deeply institutionalized practices of discrimination and rapid urban development that continue to marginalize and burden communities of color.

Students address these challenges directly by planning and designing interventions at systems and site scales to create more resilient landscape networks.
