Landscape Architecture (BLA)

Landscape architects are instrumental in the design of healthy and equitable cities and environments. We consider impacts on the environment from climate change and natural disasters as well as the health of humans and wildlife alike. We design parks, gardens, streetscapes, and restore habitats — while architects are designing buildings and landscape architects design everything else!

In our accredited program, you will learn to be not only a responsible and creative designer who listen, build trust and advocate for the environment but also a leader in the profession. Our design process is equitable, inclusive and creative. Design real-world projects that are resilient, sustainable and beautiful in our award-winning program. Our students receive job offers and begin careers at some of the best firms, nonprofits and public agencies, such as, OLIN, Jonathon Alderson, Philadelphia Water Department, Aramark and many others!

Our real-world approach offers students pathways into the landscape architecture profession by working in professional offices as interns for credit or as paid interns with our faculty on research and design projects during the semester or over the summer. Research and design side by side with your professors, all the while healing the environment!
