Minor in Landscape Architecture

The minor in Landscape Architecture is open to all majors interested in pairing their studies with the exploration and problem-solving issues related to design, environmentalism and public space.

Three general education (GE) courses offered by the department  count towards the 24-unit requirement to achieve the Landscape Architecture Minor Award. The program is a mix of applied skill-building and theory that involve forays into geographic information systems (GIS), plant science, visual communication, and design history.

Students are encouraged to meet with their Landscape Architecture Minor advisor at least once a year. For information, contact:
