Attention: open in a new window. PrintE-mail

The deadline for application for Fall admission is February 15, although applications will be considered until June 15 if there are spaces open. The deadline for application for the Spring semester is November 1. In addition to Office of Graduate Studies / Office of Admissions application requirements, each student must also submit to the program:

  1. A letter of intent outlining the applicant’s interest in the discipline of landscape architecture and the reasons for seeking admission to the program;
  2. Letters of reference from three individuals under whom the applicant has worked and/or studied. Two of the letters shall normally be from teachers or academic advisors who can comment on the applicant’s undergraduate performance;
  3. A resume;
  4. A portfolio of creative work. All applicants to the two-year program must submit a portfolio. While this requirement is not mandatory in the initial application for students applying to the three-year program of study, any evidence of creative work will be helpful to the admissions committee.
  5. Portfolios should not contain original work. Reproductions should be presented in 8.5 x 11, or similar format that can be easily handled and stored. Applicants are encouraged to think about the design and presentation of the portfolio document. Those who wish to have their portfolio returned by mail should include return postage.
  6. A copy of academic transcripts
