Urban Landscapes Certificate
Urban Landscapes Certificate
The realm of Landscape Architecture explores a range of systems and scales within urban environments to examine functional landscapes and patterns of urban growth. The Urban Landscapes Certificate explores landscape design issues in the urban environment and applies landscape architecture principles to a variety of urban conditions. Students investigate and discover design opportunities through ecological studies, planning concepts, project assignments to design public and open space frameworks, and sustainable design policies at the local, urban, and regional scales.
Eligibility
The Urban Landscapes Certificate offers on campus courses and is open to anyone with an interest in landscapes. Students can choose from a mix of onsite and online classes to complete the certificate.
