 Return to: Programs, Minors and Certificates
The Master of Heritage Conservation/Master of Landscape Architecture + Urbanism dual degree program facilitates highly related cross-disciplinary studies in heritage conservation and in landscape architecture at the master’s level. The primary objective of the dual degree curriculum is to impart to students a basic familiarity with the origins and development of the philosophies, theories, and practices of landscape architecture and heritage conservation. This curriculum has been developed so that students will graduate from this program with a broad practical knowledge of the techniques and strategies for conserving the existing built environment through the lens of cultural landscape studies and landscape architecture. Students will be expected to understand the critical methodological tools necessary for a professional engaged in the investigation, interpretation, and evaluation of the cultural landscapes that surround us. Qualified students who are admitted to the Master of Heritage Conservation and the Master of Landscape Architecture + Urbanism program in the School of Architecture may complete both degrees in a highly integrated five- to seven-semester program. Completion of the dual degree requires 37 units of courses in heritage conservation (including 5 units of thesis) and either 50 units of landscape architecture (for those students admitted with advanced placement); or 74 units of landscape architecture (for those students admitted to the three-year curriculum).
