Landscape Design Concentration
The Landscape Design concentration integrates agroecological principles to the practices and profession of landscape design. Students will learn the skills needed to meet current environmental challenges through a curriculum that includes ecology, soil science, horticulture, art and landscape design.

- You are interested in the ways design can merge art and science.
- You love plants and want to learn more about how they fit into designed spaces.
- You want to help foster ecology and equity from urban to rural settings by designing planned landscapes that also restore natural processes and improve human livelihoods.
