The Master of Landscape Architecture (MLA) program offers a first professional degree. The course requirements are intended to be completed in three years of full-time study, plus a summer foundation studio. Typically, students take twelve (12) to fifteen (15) credit hours per semester.

In addition to the MLA degree, the Landscape Architecture program offers three joint degree options. Dual degrees are available with the Bachelor of Architecture and Master of Community Planning programs within the School of Architecture, and the Bachelor of Horticulture program in the College of Agriculture. All study plans include a design studio each semester, a core sequence of required courses, seminars on focused topics within the field, and a year-long individual thesis. The thesis studio is advised by both a studio instructor and a self-selected thesis committee.
