Master of Landscape Architecture and Urbanism

Program Overview

The Master of Landscape Architecture and Urbanism program is a fundamentally progressive urban enterprise based on three defining principles: the equitable global growth of our urban centers, strong trans-disciplinary collaboration, and the advancement of urban landscape theory in research and in practice. M.L.A.+U students investigate complex socio-environmental challenges through creative inquiry and innovative technological ideation. As the only accredited landscape architecture program in Chicago—and among only a few in large North American cities—we are uniquely positioned to confront these challenges.

Our curriculum amplifies this urban context with courses that investigate critical landscape architecture challenges of the twenty-first century city: the urban design implications of technological innovations, new mobility systems, post-industrial sites, water quality, climate change, social equity, rapid urbanization, and vital public spaces, among others. Our Landscape Architectural Accreditation Board accredited and STEM-certified program prepares technically skilled and intellectually versatile design professionals who share these ambitions across the globe.

This program is open beginning in the fall semester only.
