Students in the Landscape Architecture Department at
Iowa
State
University learn how to change the world by re-imagining and re-shaping the landscape to enhance its artistic & functional dimensions, its ecological health, its cultural significance, and its social relevance.
We offer both the Bachelor of Landscape Architecture (BLA) and Master of Landscape Architecture (MLA) degrees along with other graduate dual degree options.
Our Landscape Architecture program is distinguished by its strong commitment to learning outside of the classroom through traveling and off-campus studios, as well as a strong commitment to learning design through working with and through the communities of
Iowa with the
Institute of
Design Research and Outreach.
Students in the BLA program have unique experiences including extensive field travel through the Traveling Savanna Studio in the 2nd year, and a semester-long internship, study abroad, or National Student Exchange program in their fourth year.
Both BLA and MLA students have a variety of international study opportunities including the
College of
Design 's Rome Program and the Department's Pacific Rim Traveling Studio, as well as other Field Travel experiences.
