This trend reflects the public's desire for better housing, recreational and commercial facilities, and its expanded concern for environmental protection. Residential and commercial real estate developers, federal and state agencies, city planning commissions, and individual property owners are all among the thousands of people and organizations in America and Canada that will retain the services of a landscape architect this year. More than any of the other major environmental design professions, landscape architecture is a profession on the move. It is comprehensive by definition-no less than the art and science of analysis, planning design, management, preservation and rehabilitation of the land. In providing well-managed design and development plans, landscape architects offer an essential array of services and expertise that reduces costs and adds long-term value to a project. Clear differences do exists between landscape architecture and the other design professions. Architects primarily design buildings and structures with specific uses, such as homes, offices, schools and factories. Civil engineers apply scientific principles to the design of city infrastructure such as roads, bridges, and public utilities. Urban planners develop a broad overview of development for entire cities and regions. Landscape architects touch on all the above mentioned design professions, integrating elements from each of them. While having a working knowledge of architecture, civil engineering and urban planning, landscape architects take elements from each of these fields to design aesthetic and practical relationships with the land.     Accreditation Information: The M.L.A. program has received initial accreditation from the Landscape Architectural Accreditation  # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees Bachelor's Degree  Pre-Requisite Courses International Student Requirements Please visit our website for International Graduate Student Admissions Requirements.  Requirements Qualifying Exam: None Required Minimum Exam Score: GPA or Equivalent: 3.0 English Proficiency: Yes Research Competency: Clinical Internship:   Work Experience Volunteer Experience Publications Experience Foreign Language Requirement Other Requirements   Cost Per Credit Hour: $   Tuition: 53508  Financial Aid Offered:       # of Students Enrolled Full Time: 513  # of Students Enrolled Part Time: 272  Average GPA: 3.000  Average Test Scores:   Charge Per Credit: $686  Annual Full Time Avg Institution Tuition: $20580  Financial Aid Offered: Yes  Average Work Experience: 3  Specializations: Sustainability  # of Terms Per Year: Semester  Placement Percentage: 90.00%  Historically Black: No   Religious Affiliation: Not applicable
