Landscape Systems and Design, MS (Graduate)

As an environmental design discipline, landscape architecture holistically integrates a multitude of natural sciences, social and behavioral sciences, and creative arts dimensions into analysis and design of living environments. As such, it can be called an ‘interdisciplinary discipline’ that synthesizes various disciplines with creative approaches to problem-solving for natural and built systems and environments. It is into this interdisciplinary learning environment that we encourage applicants with a background in landscape architecture (BS or BA), practicing landscape architects, or individuals from allied disciplines who share a common vision for tackling challenging problems shaping our built environment. Thus, in keeping with Purdue’s global reputation as a ‘Research-One’ university, and HLA’s highly prominent research, the faculty of the landscape architecture program invite those seeking a personalized education in design research to join our MS in Landscape Systems & Design.
