Combining science, art and problem solving with a love of nature
听
Work at the intersection of the built and natural environments. Combining courses in plant materials, construction techniques, leadership and art among others, our students solve multi-faceted design challenges from many perspectives, including human and environmental health. Landscape architects plan and design parks, campuses, streetscapes, trails, plazas, residences and other projects that strengthen communities.听Landscape architecture is perfect for any student interested in learning ways to address solutions to environmental, natural resource and sustainability challenges. Our graduates work in cities and communities to help keep air and water clean, provide habitats for wildlife and build safe, beautiful places for people to enjoy. They work in interdisciplinary firms with other professionals to design outside spaces where people live, work and play. So many of your favorite parks, plazas, golf courses and certainly college campuses resulted directly from the hands-on technical expertise and aesthetic sensibility of landscape architects. From Central Park in New York City to the Gardens of Versailles, the mark of landscape architects is enduring throughout our world.听

What鈥檚 special about this program?
In our studio-based program, collaborative industry and campus partnerships allow students to engage in projects that involve entrepreneurship, art and design, leadership and engineering. After two initial graphics courses听(one hand-sketching听and one digital design), students engage in six sequential design studios that increase in complexity and the range of social and environmental challenges that make up听the听project work. Our students bring strength in design, environmental problem solving and plant sciences to all their collaborations. As you learn to design, plan and manage built and natural landscapes, you will gain confidence working with native plants and local ecosystems. Though a small state, Delaware faces a wide range of issues that include water quality, coastal resilience, small town redevelopment, urban access to healthy food and suburban sprawl. Our location in the mid-Atlantic region between major urban centers and rural communities enables us to explore a variety of design sites and scales.
