Landscape Architecture/Regional Planning (MLA/MRP)

UMass Amherst

Employers value planners who can design, and designers who can plan; this big picture knowledge enables a very strong professional path. Our dual degree creates a strong knowledge base in both the process and product of land development. Completing both programs integrates the design and analysis of urban and rural landscapes with a concern for the social, political, regulatory and economic factors that shape those landscapes. Students apply for admission to each program separately but will indicate in their application their intent to do the dual degree.
