3. Advanced Professional Electives
For students in M620 the requirement is 3 courses with a minimum of 9 credit hours, and for students in M621 the requirement is 5 courses with a minimum of 15 credit hours. The professional electives are an important part of the master of landscape architecture program. Accreditation requires that graduate programs provide opportunities for concentration or specialization. The advanced professional electives are the primary vehicle for organizing and delivering this concentration or specialization. Any graduate level course at the 5000 or 6000 level, or "G" designated undergraduate course at the 3000 or 4000 level may be taken that is appropriate to the student's interests and area of concentration or specialization. Students are encouraged to work with an advisor--either the Division Director or the Graduate Liaison--to develop a "package" of appropriate electives. Allied departments at OU that may have useful offerings include Anthropology, Architecture, Art, Botany, Business Administration, construction Science, Civil Engineering, Environmental Science, Communications, Geography, Geology, Health and Sports Sciences, Human Relations, Political Science, Regional and City Planning, Sociology and Zoology.
