These programs are fully accredited by the ASLA. We successfully integrate teaching, research, our professional skills, and knowledge from other disciplines to provide solutions to real-world problems. Our Students' site planning and design expertise is based on an intellectual and experiential understanding of human and natural systems, gained through an interdisciplinary approach to project-based learning.

The Department proactively engages with other programs within the University, our communities, and the larger metropolitan region through research and design. We are increasingly recognized for leadership in innovative teaching, research on emerging issues, and community-building service.

The core program for both degrees provides our Students with strong professional skills in:

· Design (based in theory, historical precedent, and creativity)

aawhich create opportunities and solve problems through physical design
