Master of Landscape Architecture Advanced Placement

We offer a two-year post-professional MLA for students with prior professional degrees in landscape architecture and a two-year non-professional MSLA/MALA for students interested in careers that would benefit from knowledge of landscape architectural design concepts, design thinking skills and related fields such as ecosystem management or sustainable development.
