Master of Landscape Architecture-Post Professional Degree (M621)

The Post Professional Master of Landscape Architecture presumes that students already holding the first professional degree are qualified to enter the profession.

The post professional degree allows students to examine in depth advanced ideas, innovative techniques, and other issues relevant to the field of landscape architecture. The unique multi-disciplinary opportunities available across campus for this focus include architecture, regional and city planning, geography, geosciences, botany, environmental science, health and sports sciences, human relations, management and public administration, and fine arts.

Students entering this option will have an accredited undergraduate first professional degree in landscape architecture from a North American university. On a case by case basis, depending upon review of transcripts and portfolio by the Program Director and the Graduate Liaison, the student may be required to take courses which may not have been offered as part of the undergraduate professional degree; or to take courses whose content was covered in the undergraduate degree because grades and/or portfolio reveal weaknesses.

Specific objectives of the post professional degree are to produce graduates who:

• possess advanced theoretical and conceptual knowledge and insight in the field of landscape architecture;
  
• possess an in-depth facility with the body of literature significant to landscape architecture;
  
• possess a specialization relevant to student interests, the needs of society, and the needs of the profession.
