The dual-degree program in landscape architecture and planning strengthens the design dimension of the
planning curriculum, and creates a venue for working closely with the College of Design at North Carolina
State University. The Department of Landscape Architecture offers two graduate program tracks leading
to the MLA, which emphasize creative problem solving and a long-term commitment to responsible design.
The curriculum provides the professional skills needed to deal with the human and natural forces that
shape the land. The department is especially concerned with urban design and the protection, restoration,
enhancement, and regeneration of the natural and cultural environments of urban and rural areas.
To enter this program, students apply to each department separately and must gain admission to both.
The amount of time required for the MLA will depend on whether the student is pursuing the First
Professional Degree track (82 credits) or Advanced Studies track (42 credits). Usually, students will be able
to reduce the time needed to attain both the MRP and the MLA by about one year by taking coursework
in each department that counts towards the other department's degree program.
