The UHM School of Architecture offers Hawaii's only LAAB-accredited professional landscape architecture degree. The field of landscape architecture comprises the analysis, planning, and design of natural and built environments. Landscape architectural practice presupposes a deep understanding of environmental systems and a commitment to the highest standards of design.
A professional license is required to practice landscape architecture. An accredited degree in landscape architecture is needed for licensure. The Master of Landscape Architecture (MLA) is a professional degree recognized by the Landscape Architectural Accreditation Board (LAAB).
The Master of Landscape Architecture (MLA) program at the University of Hawaii at Mnoa prepares its graduates to become leaders of the next generation of landscape architects. Trained in the extraordinary Hawaiian landscape, students are equipped with emerging tools and strategies needed to enhance a beautiful, resilient and healthy built environment.
As the only professional landscape architecture program in Hawaii, situated within a Carnegie R1 Land, Sea and Space Grant university, the MLA advances contemporary urban landscape design teaching, theory and practice in the state and tropical Asia-Pacific coastal regions with a dedicated focus on ecological and social sustainability by design.
Its emphasis on contemporary, sustainable urban/landscape planning and design in tropical Asia-Pacific regions, where the majority of growth will occur in the upcoming decades, distinguishes this MLA from other North American landscape architecture programs.
Hawaii, with its rich natural and cultural history and manifold environmental and social challenges, provides a unique place of learning and opportunity for cutting-edge landscape architectural research, teaching, and practice. There is no other place in the United States where the aspirations of twenty-first century landscape architectural practice converge so seamlessly with the philosophy and culture of the local ancient, indigenous community.
To accommodate applicants varying levels of preparedness through their undergraduate education, the MLA program includes three closely intertwined tracks:
