The objective of the Masters program in Landscape Architecture at the University of Illinois is to provide the student with a concentration in areas reflecting central issues in landscape architecture, fundamental research development skills, and proficiency in the traditional core methods of the profession. The concentrations in Community and Urban Design, Ecological Design and Technology, and Cultural Heritage Design draw on the unique strengths of our Department and campus. Concentrations are served by core faculty with advanced degrees in landscape architecture, ecology, social psychology, civil engineering, architecture, and history of architecture. More than half of the core faculty hold the Ph.D degree. Affiliated faculty represent several departments from around the campus.
Our students come from a diversity of backgrounds which have included environmental studies, art, architecture, philosophy, biology, and landscape architecture. Some are recent landscape architecture graduates, some experienced practitioners, and others second-career aspirants from entirely different disciplines.
Applications for Fall admission are due January 15.
