Overview

The mission of the Master of Landscape Architecture (MLA) at the University of Colorado Denver is to create health, well-being, and environmental resilience through holistic design in the public realm. We work across all scales of landscape practice, taking advantage of the wide range of highly dynamic landscapes, opportunities, and issues in our immediate vicinity of the Rocky Mountains as well as engaging across the country and beyond. Our educational engagements range from urban cores to wilderness areas and from suburban sprawl to ranching and farming communities. Many of our studios and other classes engage directly with community groups, non-profit organizations, or local governments, taking on real-world challenges and providing direct support to proposals for positive change in our landscapes.
