About the course

The 3-year first professional degree is designed to provide students with a professional education and also an opportunity for research and/or in-depth project work. Because students hold bachelor's degrees from an array of backgrounds it is necessary for them to gain landscape architectural skills. Those proficiency courses are also required for professional accreditation. The Master of Landscape Architecture program focuses on the internal strengths of the department--urban and community design (plus related research issues), landscape restoration (historical and ecological), and health and design. Clemson M.L.A. graduates have historically had a variety of employment opportunities nationwide. Employment of landscape architects is concentrated in urban and suburban areas throughout the country, although many work in rural and wilderness areas (particularly landscape architects employed by federal government engaged in the design and management of parks, recreation and natural resource areas). Because the M.L.A. is the terminal degree in the discipline, Clemson graduates will qualify for appointment as faculty in landscape architecture programs throughout North America and, thereby, influence future generations of practitioners.
