Graduate Studies in Landscape Architecture
- Explore the Landscapes of the Northern Rocky Mountain Bioregion
- Critical Investigation, Research, and Scholarship in Geographical, Biophysical, and Cultural Landscape Dynamics
The Department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture at WSU Pullman and the Interdisciplinary Design Institute at WSU Spokane offer the Master of Science in Landscape Architecture degree. Students may enroll at either Pullman or Spokane and take advantage of the faculty, facilities, and resources at these locations. Both programs operate within the context of serving graduate-level landscape architecture and landscape planning needs for the Northern Rocky Mountain Bioregion.
The Northern Rocky Mountain Bioregion
The Northern Rocky Mountain Bioregion includes portions of eastern Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming, and southern British Columbia. The region is rich in forests, agriculture, and public lands, and is largely rural in character. However, the region's population growth, which exceeds the national average, is causing it to change rapidly as increased demands are being placed on its resource base. Careful attention to bioregional investigation, design, and planning of the natural, rural, and urban landscapes is crucial to support a society striving for sustainability.
