Overview
The Landscape Architecture - Accelerated Master's Program at The University of Arizona can usually be completed within two semesters of attaining the BLA degree and within four semesters of attaining the SBE degree.
Subsequent to being admitted to the Accelerated Master's Program, BLA and SBE students in their third or fourth years begin to take graduate courses in the MLA program curriculum. Twelve of the graduate units earned may be used to count toward both degrees.
In a world of complex social and environmental challenges, our Master of Landscape Architecture positions you to be a leader in creative, design-based problem solving.
The three-year, STEM-designated MLA prepares students from diverse educational and professional backgrounds for the practice of landscape architecture through engagement in applied scholarship with an emphasis on sustainable design strategies.
We employ real-world learning experiences that enable you to meet the most critical design challenges of the built environment.
