Applicants with professional design degrees will be evaluated to determine if they can forgo all or part of the leveling year.
Applicants to the MLA program should have a minimum GPA of 2.80 on a 4.00 scale. Submission of Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores is not required. The applicant's submission should include a letter of interest with a written statement (no more than 1500 words) explaining his or her interest in pursuing graduate studies in landscape architecture at Mississippi State University. Three letters of recommendation from individuals familiar with the applicant's academic work, motivation, and character should accompany the application. The applicant should also submit a detailed resume. Applicants wishing to be evaluated to forgo all or part of the leveling year should submit a design portfolio highlighting graphic, technical, and design competencies.
