Students in landscape architecture develop professional design skills through courses that address the increasingly complex relationships between art, ecology, and community that influence and inform design on the land. Courses emphasize three principal areas of study: 1) landscape architecture as a means to add to the aesthetic richness of our culture and environment--helping us to better understand ourselves and our place in the world; 2) integration of biological, geophysical, and ecological processes into lasting, meaningful, and systemically rigorous landscape architecture that sustains and protects the health of people and the ecosystems on which they depend; and 3) design for urban and suburban places and people, with emphasis on gaining knowledge and experience through direct engagement with clients and the public in order to address the problems and opportunities of the metropolitan core of cities.
