UG in Landscape Architecture at University of Kentucky
The profession of landscape architecture has grown out of the tradition of
the great garden designers of Italy, France, England, and China to encompass
the art and science of design, planning, and management of the land.
The science of landscape architecture is concerned with the conservation
and management of natural resources. The art of landscape architecture is
concerned with the creation of more enjoyable, comfortable, and safe
outdoor areas where human use requires adaptation of the natural environment.
This five-year professional program is accredited by the American Society
of Landscape Architects and meets all the requirements for licensing of
landscape architects in Kentucky and other states. Landscape architecture
employment opportunities may be found in the designing of urban communities,
plazas, university campuses, institutional grounds, parks and recreational
areas, commercial and industrial sites, and residential communities,
as well as in the areas of historic preservation, regional planning, and mine
reclamation.
