Landscape Architecture - M.L.A. II
The Master of Landscape Architecture II degree in Landscape Architecture is a post-professional program intended for students to develop new knowledge through research and design, and to provide professionals with the opportunity for specialization in an area of their choosing.
Students are engaged in issues — ranging from hydrology in the Great Lakes and Ohio River Basins watershed to the role of urban landscapes associated with industrial cities. In addition, students study matters of global significance relating to the role of landscape and design relative to reclamation of urban vacancies, infrastructural systems, natural resources, climate change, water quality for health and social justice and cultural landscapes.
Individual capstone research or advanced design studios comprise the second year of study.
