The Certificate in Landscape Design emphasizes the interaction between human needs and the environment, and provides students with practical skills for understanding landscape design. All design studios use actual sites as case studies to teach the design process and problem solving. Students generally complete the Certificate in Landscape Design on a part-time basis in 2 to 5 years.
