Columbia’s Landscape Design program immerses students in the history and theory of garden design, broadens their horticultural knowledge and plant vocabulary, and nurtures their creativity while grounding them technically. Graduates of Columbia’s program enter the profession with a deep understanding of how space and plant materials may be creatively manipulated to express human values and emotions. Columbia’s Landscape Design program prepares students for careers as landscape designers specializing in residential and smaller-scale projects. By contrast, landscape architecture is a state-regulated profession that generally concentrates on larger-scale, multifaceted projects that often involve a range of engineering challenges. The rigorous curriculum emphasizes studio work in order to develop students’ technical and design competence and to enable them to begin professional practice upon graduation. Classes are offered in the evening and on Saturday to meet the needs of working professionals or those in career transition.     Accreditation Information: Columbia University  # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees Bachelor's degree  Pre-Requisite Courses International Student Requirements Requirements Qualifying Exam: None Required Minimum Exam Score: GPA or Equivalent: English Proficiency: Yes Research Competency: No Clinical Internship: No   Work Experience Volunteer Experience Publications Experience Foreign Language Requirement Other Requirements   Cost Per Credit Hour: $   Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered:       # of Students Enrolled Full Time:   # of Students Enrolled Part Time:   Average GPA:   Average Test Scores:   Charge Per Credit:   Annual Full Time Avg Institution Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered:   Average Work Experience: Less than 1 Year  Specializations:   # of Terms Per Year:   Placement Percentage:   Historically Black: No   Religious Affiliation:
