Landscape architecture is a growing and diverse profession that creates innovative spaces for people to work, play and live as well as habitat for those with whom we share the planet. Landscape architects design many places including residential and commercial properties, community facilities, urban and rural infrastructure, recreation land and park systems, as well as regional landscapes and land planning. The profession is broad in scope and synthesizes a range of disciplines that includes environmental studies, biology, horticulture, geology, hydrology, art, architecture, and urban planning. It is one of the fastest growing professions and is perfect for those who wish to serve as designers and stewards of the land.
Landscape Architecture
SCHOOL OF DESIGN
STUDIO BASED CURRICULUMSDSU’s Landscape Architecture program is a studio-based curriculum that stresses critical thinking through making. In this project-based curriculum, students are asked to solve increasingly complex problems through thoughtful use of verbal and visual communication including drawing, drafting, digital media, model making, and other modes of representation.
The Landscape Architecture program at South Dakota State University is located within the School of Design and is the only Bachelor of Landscape Architecture program in the state of South Dakota or the neighboring states of Minnesota, Montana and Wyoming. As such, it is a vital resource for the region, particularly for the education and stewardship of the land.
Students interested in landscape architecture should pursue a rigorous high school program that prepares them for college level study with an emphasis on the natural sciences, art and design.
