Landscape Architecture (B.L.A.)

Thomas Jefferson University - INTO USA

Landscape architects play a vital role in shaping healthy, equitable and resilient environments. We design parks, gardens, streetscapes and ecological restoration projects - while architects design buildings, landscape architects design everything in between! In our LAAB accredited program you will become a responsible creative designer who listens, builds trust and advocates for both people and the planet. You will learn to develop real-world solutions that are sustainable, resilient and beautiful while addressing challenges like climate change, habitat loss and urban equity. Our award-winning program prepares you to be a leader in the profession. Students in our program design projects that make a real impact, and many begin their careers with top firms, nonprofits and public agencies such as OLIN, Jonathan Alderson, Philadelphia Water Department, Aramark and many more. We emphasize hands-on, real-world experience at Jefferson. You’ll have opportunities to work as an intern for professional offices for credit or collaborate on paid research and design projects with our expert faculty during the semester or over the summer. This immersive approach allows you to research, design and heal the environment alongside your professors and peers.
