Master of Landscape Architecture (2-year program) (STEM)
Program Overview
Landscape architecture is a profession that combines art, science, technology, and experiential knowledge for creative placemaking and keeping, preserving diverse cultures, and building stewardship of people and the environment. Participate in service-learning projects that address global concerns while working with local communities to create livable, beloved cities and landscapes.
The MLA program is designed to enable students to work with communities in planning and design projects for improving the ecological and social health of their built environments, with emphasis on sustainable environments for community resilience. ASU's Master of Landscape Architecture program provides students with the ecological literacy and fluency to lead socially just urban transformations in areas of greening, decolonizing and healing places. These urban transformations are urgently needed to build better and more just neighborhoods, cities and regions.
The curriculum in this accredited degree program is designed to prepare future leaders in landscape architecture practice and for advanced study at the doctoral level. In the United States, most state registration boards require a degree from an accredited professional degree program as a prerequisite for licensure. This Master of Landscape Architecture degree is qualified as a STEM-designated degree program in the U.S. education designation.
Program paths of study available in this master's degree program:

Studio projects range from large-scale work encompassing green infrastructure, resilient design, sustainable systems design, future climate scenarios and actions, urban ecological design, urban agriculture, landscape restoration, open space preservation and planning, community planning and design, biophilia and landscape ecological design to projects at the more intimate scale of a neighborhood park, streetscape, vacant lot transformation, campus design or residential back yard. Emerging areas of focus include climate adaptation, health and equity, creative place-making and place-keeping; environmental justice, living structures (e.g., green roofs and living walls), restorative environments, sustainable design, urban climate design, and climate justice design.
The Design School is committed to the merging of global and local contexts and concerns and, toward this end, graduate students may travel as part of their studio experience. To date, students have traveled to Argentina, Brazil, England, Ethiopia, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, Rwanda, Spain and Turkey. The school also offers a number of summer study abroad programs in an effort to extend the student opportunities for global engagement.
