Combining science, art and problem solving with a love of nature
Landscape Architecture is perfect for any student interested in learning ways to address solutions to environmental, natural resource and sustainability challenges at local, regional and global levels. Landscape architects work in cities and communities to help keep air and water clean, provide habitat for wildlife and build safe, beautiful places for people to enjoy. They work in interdisciplinary firms with other professionals to design outside spaces where people live, work and play. So many of your favorite parks, plazas, golf courses and certainly college campuses resulted directly from the hands-on technical expertise and aesthetic sensibility of landscape architects. If you have been to Central Park in New York City or the Baltimore Inner Harbor, you have visited places designed, planned and managed by landscape architects.

What’s special about this program?
Our collaborative industry and campus partnerships allow students to engage in projects that involve entrepreneurship, art and design, leadership and engineering. Our students bring strength in design, environmental problem solving and plant sciences to all their collaborations. As they learn to design, plan and manage built and natural landscapes, they gain confidence in working with native plants and local ecosystems. Though a small state, Delaware faces a wide range of issues that include water quality, coastal resilience, small town redevelopment, urban access to healthy food and suburban sprawl. Our location in the mid-Atlantic region between major urban centers and rural communities enables us to explore a variety of design sites and scales.
