MLA Landscape Architecture
The Master of Landscape Architecture (MLA) program at the University of Cincinnati (UC) is founded on the contemporary practice of landscape architecture and its broad applications of regenerative planning, design, and stewardship, and the synthesis of art and science to balance human activity with natural systems.
The Master of Landscape Architecture program at the University of Cincinnati is distinguished by Cooperative Education (Co-op). Our MLA program is the only one in the nation to require a full semester of co-op study. The licensed profession of landscape architecture has led the way in sustainable landscape design for more than 100 years. Our alumni are leading projects to implement urban design and green infrastructure, reclaim exhausted and damaged lands, revitalize neighborhoods, enhance community development, and advance projects of local significance.
A uniqueness to our MLA program is that it can be completed in two-years through six-consecutive semesters that includes 5 semesters on campus and one semester co-op experience with these six consecutive semesters saving students an entire year cost of living expenses vs those 3-year programs.
Applications for Fall 2025 start are open.
