MA/MS in Landscape Architecture

The Master of Landscape Architecture at the University of Manitoba is a professional design degree offered by the Faculty of Architecture, focused on the analysis, planning, design, management, and stewardship of natural and built environments. The curriculum integrates ecological knowledge with socio-cultural, economic, and aesthetic considerations through studio-based design work, field studies, and collaborative projects. Applicants normally hold a four-year degree in landscape architecture, another design discipline, or another discipline entirely, with the required credit hours adjusted accordingly: 39 credit hours for those who have completed the required Landscape and Urbanism option coursework, or 69 credit hours for applicants without a design background. Admission requires a minimum grade point average of 3.0 from a recognized university. Completion normally takes two to three years of full-time study, depending on the applicant's prior academic background. Graduates are prepared for professional practice or further study in landscape architecture and related design fields.
