Landscape Architecture & Environmental Planning

The Department of Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning (LAEP) prepares students and scholars for impactful careers in design, planning, and research. Our programs build strong skills in critical thinking, creative problem‑solving, and collaboration.

Through community‑engaged, multi‑scale projects, LAEP transforms research into real‑world solutions that support resilient environments and strengthen the places where people live, work, and recreate.

Landscape architecture is a STEM discipline, offering a rigorous blend of science, technology, and creativity.
