Overview

Your course of study in the Landscape Architecture program of the University of Minnesota is highly flexible and allows you to build a customized plan that supports your area of interest while collaborating directly with faculty. The program culminates in a Master’s thesis paper or project, making it an excellent choice for designers looking to hone their skills and develop a specialization. This degree is for advanced study and research in the discipline and is not an accredited degree. Please note, admission is contingent upon finding a faculty member prepared to act as an advisor for your research.
