Master of Landscape Architecture (MLA/First Professional) in Brooklyn United States | Pratt Institute

The Master of Landscape Architecture Program educates students in crafting land designs and practices that promote environmental and social equity during an era of climate transformation and societal shifts.
At Pratt, MLA candidates learn to adopt a holistic design philosophy that connects cultural and natural elements, ecological principles with policy, and living spaces with constructed ones. Facing numerous complex challenges, we emphasize cooperative, team-oriented education, exploring relationships between vast systems, historical influences, ecological developments, and individual life forms. Landscape Architecture serves as both an academic field and professional practice that shapes environments across all dimensions. We honor this tradition by envisioning worldwide learning as a partnership with the earth's vital elements—soil, flora, and water—that support all life.
