Master of Landscape Architecture
Program Overview
The University of Massachusetts, Amherst, is the only public university in New England offering a Master’s in Landscape Architecture (MLA) degree. Established in 1903, our Landscape Architecture Program is the second oldest in the country and is fully accredited through the Landscape Architectural Accreditation Board.
In the United States, the professional practice of “landscape architecture” began in the mid-nineteenth century, specifically with the work of Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, who together coined the term to describe their work designing Central Park in New York, Prospect Park in Brooklyn, the Buffalo park system, and other public landscape projects. The planning and design of park and parkway systems was an early and distinctive form of American urbanism. The systems of public landscapes Olmsted designed in Boston, for example, created a framework for urban growth based on a response to regional landscape features and systems (such as topography and hydrology) and the design of multi-functional landscapes that served as infrastructure (including multi-modal transportation and storm water management) and offered profound and varied experiences of landscape beauty.
