The Master of Landscape Architecture program prepares students for professional practice through integration of scientific knowledge and artistic intervention to achieve sustainable design outcomes. The central theme of sustainable design is incorporated into the study of landscape ecology, landscape planning, cultural landscapes, design history and theory, and technical, graphic and digital media training. The program utilizes Tucson and the unique Sonoran Desert environment as a learning laboratory for applied research and community-based projects. Students are prepared for entry-level practice through involvement in a variety of project types and scales including community and campus master plans, urban park systems, plazas and green streets, industrial restoration, habitat creation, neighborhood design, and more.
