In response to the increased and broad interest in landscape topics, the Department of Landscape Architecture offers a 5 course unit Certificate in Landscape Studies. This is targeted toward students enrolled in other programs in both the School of Design and the University more broadly, as well as to mid-career professionals and scholars who wish to enhance their education.

Potential candidates must apply for admission into the certificate program in accordance with School procedures, and be reviewed and admitted upon the recommendation of the department faculty.

Candidates must then propose their course of study for approval by the faculty, selecting 5 course units from the Department of Landscape Architecture. Typically, these course units will be selected from the many seminars, workshops and courses offered in the department, although design studios may also be taken with the approval of the chair and the studio critics involved. The certificate program may be taken either full or part time, but must be completed within 4 semesters (two years).
