The University of Cincinnati's (UC) Master of Landscape Architecture (MLA) program builds upon modern landscape architecture practices, emphasizing regenerative planning, design, and environmental management while blending artistic vision with scientific principles to harmonize human development with ecological balance.
What sets UC's MLA program apart is its Cooperative Education (Co-op) component. This accelerated program spans six continuous semesters, starting with a rigorous summer studio in June, followed by four academic terms and one co-op semester. Graduates complete the program with valuable professional work experience already under their belts.
