This four-year dual degree program allows students to simultaneously earn a Master of Architecture and a Master of Landscape Architecture. Both degrees hold professional accreditation - the architecture program through the Canadian Architectural Certification Board and the landscape architecture program through the Canadian Society of Landscape Architects. The curriculum blends architectural design principles with environmental awareness, fostering comprehensive expertise in both constructed and natural spaces.
Students have the exceptional chance to complete both the MArch and MLA degrees concurrently. Each program maintains its own accreditation: the MArch by the Canadian Architectural Certification Board and the MLA by the Landscape Architecture Accreditation Council.
This intensive dual degree path delivers professional graduate qualifications in both fields within an accelerated timeframe. Admission to the program is extremely competitive, with applications undergoing thorough review. Prospective students should exhibit both enthusiasm for and foundational understanding of architecture and landscape architecture disciplines.
