Overview

At Cornell CALS, our MPS program spans multiple fields of study within the realm of agriculture and life sciences, including animal science, food science, global development, horticulture, plant and soil science, biological and environmental engineering, and more.

The Master of Landscape Architecture program from Cornell University has two main components:

Coursework: Students work with a faculty advisor to map out their individualized course of study based on their areas of interest. The majority of courses (20 credits) will be within CALS; however, students have the opportunity to take courses across Cornell.

Capstone project: With the guidance of a faculty advisor, students work on solving a real-world problem.

Programme Structure

Courses included:

Though similar to a Master of Science (MS) degree in its academic rigor, the MPS degree differs from a traditional MS degree in its structure and focus.

An MS is research based, with students building a thesis over the course of two or three years.

In contrast, the MPS degree is a one-year, course-based program where students study the intricacies and in-depth questions of their field of study.

Instead of a thesis or research project, MPS students complete a capstone project during their final semester.
