Landscape Architecture Program

Design Your Career in Landscape Architecture

Landscape architects create attractive and functional designs to meet the needs of residential and commercial property owners. This field combines art and science and deals with the complex relationships between man-made features and natural environments.  The Landscape Architecture Program can provide you with the academic and professional training you need to design a niche for yourself in the industry.

Landscape architect technicians and designers are employed by engineering firms, parks and recreation departments, landscape contractors, design and build firms, nurseries and garden centers, botanical gardens, and grounds management firms.  Landscape architect technicians work with architects, city planners, civil engineers, hydrologists, surveyors, contractors, and environmental engineers. The national employment projection for landscape architects and related fields is expected to increase faster than average through 2016.

Our curriculum covers topics from landscape planning and planting design to cost estimating and computer drafting and design. All of our courses are taught by professionals who pride themselves in sound coursework and take a genuine interest in your studies and your career plans.

Courses for the Landscape Architecture Associate in Applied Science Degree are offered throughout the year. Many are offered evenings as well as days to accommodate your schedule. Spring semester begins in January, summer semester begins in June and fall classes begin in August. Most courses are 12-weeks.  Come design with us!
