UMass Amherst
The Bachelor of Science Program in Landscape Architecture at the University of Massachusetts is strongly influenced by its unique New England setting. Massachusetts is now the fifth fastest growing state in the nation--it is a sunbelt state in terms of its growth needs and problems--and this pattern characterizes much of our region as well. Because of this, landscape and planning issues assume critical significance for both the immediate and long-term future. The program focuses on visual, physical, ecological and cultural problems encountered in the urbanizing landscape. Its primary objective is to educate and train professionals who are prepared to engage future design problems and advance the state of the art. A diverse and internationally recognized faculty is involved with education and research activities in Landscape Planning, Design, and Computer Applications.
