BS in Landscape Architecture Curriculum at Cornell University
The undergraduate landscape architecture curriculum is a broadbased course of study that provides the skills necessary for professional practice. In addition to the required Landscape Architecture courses, students are expected to fulfill college requirements in biological, physical and social sciences, humanities, and written and oral expression.
The core Landscape Architecture undergraduate curriculum is centered on a sequence of design studio courses. Studio teaching involves students and faculty in a one-on-one relationship. This close interaction typifies the program. Each studio requires a different set of principles and theories and mastery of aspects of the media of landscape—land form, plants, water, engineering, and construction. The subject matter in each studio builds on the subjects of previous studios.
