From Bachelor's to Master's in One Year
The Master of Landscape Architecture Accelerated Program provides opportunity for currently enrolled undergraduate students to complete an M.L.A. one year after completion of B.L.A.
Accelerated Master of Landscape Architecture About the Program
The Bachelor's and Master's of Landscape Architecture at Texas Tech University are Landscape Architectural Accreditation Board (LAAB) accredited programs, which means that a degree from Texas Tech meets the educational requirement for professional licensure as a landscape architect.
Both first and post-professional degree students have the option of preparing a thesis or a project thesis. The project thesis option is typically chosen by students who desire to obtain a first-professional degree and enter professional practice. The thesis option is optimal for post-professional degree students seeking greater research and theoretical opportunities and is particularly suited to a career in academia or public practice.
All students are required to provide their own graphics workstation meeting Landscape Architecture departmental specifications. A graphics workstation meeting the spec is critical to efficient and effective fused analog and digital workflows taught throughout the curriculum using state-of-the-art CAD, BIM, GIS, graphics visualization, and modeling tools.
Careers in Landscape Architecture
Landscape architects create healthy, safe, and beautiful outdoor places for everyone. As members of a STEM profession, they bring science and design together to make our communities better places to live, work, and play. Being a landscape architect requires years of education and experience and passing a national exam. They are licensed—just like doctors and engineers—to keep people safe and secure.
Getting Involved in DoLA
In the Department of Landscape Architecture at Texas Tech University, our primary student organization is the student chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects (SASLA). SASLA is a unique opportunity for students to prepare for the future through academic, professional, and social development.
SASLA also coordinates and runs WreckShop - an annual multi-day conference which brings dozens of professional landscape architecture firms to campus and encompasses a series of networking, professional development, and collaborative opportunities.

Related Degrees
The Master of Landscape Architecture program offers both first professional and post-professional degree options vital to the Department's vision to advance the discipline of landscape architecture. The first professional LAAB-accredited degree program is designed to accommodate students who do not have a Bachelor of Landscape Architecture (B.L.A.) or related design degree but who wish to become licensed landscape architects. Post-professional students, who already have a B.L.A. or related design/planning degree, develop a specialization in the discipline, and/or prepare to enter an academic career in landscape architecture.
The graduate program specializes in semi-arid landscapes, while engaging design and planning issues critical to a sustainable, resilient, adaptable earth and its growing urban populations.
The landscape architecture program vision is to advance landscape architecture. We work to promote that vision through innovative learning, research, and service activities. First professional B.L.A. and M.L.A. degrees are accredited by the Landscape Architectural Accreditation Board. Student learning outcomes are coordinated through the curriculum, and during each semester to develop creative leaders ready for professional licensure and practice in the public or private sector.
The program specializes in semi-arid landscapes, while engaging design and planning issues critical to a sustainable, resilient, adaptable earth and its growing urban populations.
A minor in landscape studies consists of introductory design, history, and modeling and communication courses totalling 18 semester credit hours.
