Often taught by visiting professors who bring fresh perspectives and new skills to campus, these professional electives deepen students’ understanding of landscape architecture. Past topics include:

• Historic landscape preservation

Students generally take these courses in their third, fourth or fifth year in the program. They also are encouraged to meet their professional elective requirements by taking courses in related disciplines such as geography, horticulture and art.
