The mission of University of Rhode Island Landscape Architecture Department is to provide a challenging and rewarding academic experience for students to excel. This is accomplished through a structured program that fosters a high level of creative and scholarly activity. Through design, planning and technical classes students explore the roles of nature, culture, and community in shaping the human, built and natural environment. Our intent is to enrich the students’ personal development and understanding of ethical principles and ecological values through an effective balance of problem solving and communication skills and global awareness.

Landscape Architecture is a four-year curriculum leading to the Bachelor of Landscape Architecture (B.L.A.) degree. Accredited by the American Society of Landscape Architects, the curriculum is designed to prepare undergraduates for professional careers in the public and private sectors.
