More than just the design of physical outdoor spaces, landscape architecture is a platform for the cross-pollination of ideas, a tool for positive social and environmental change, and a living narrative. At the University of New Mexico, the Landscape Architecture program prepares students to think and act critically, develop curiosity and passion for living environments, and employ the necessary professional skills to become future leaders in planetary health and socio-ecological resiliency.
Now Accepting MCRP Applications
The two-year Master of Community + Regional Planning (MCRP) degree is the only program in New Mexico accredited by the Planning Accreditation Board. Through small classes and direct interaction with instructors, we work collectively to honor traditions and cultures in the Southwest, convey complex information to non-specialists, and bring about transformational change. The program provides grounding in planning skills, methods, theory and professional practice, with special expertise in water resources, community development, land-use planning, and indigenous planning. Fighting for people and restoring ecological systems are the driving forces behind our work. We recognize how places root cultures and political commitments, and we focus on tools and mechanisms to effect change. While we learn from the cultures and resources of the arid Southwest, our graduates work to effect change both within and beyond this region.
