Student Relations

The Department of Landscape Architecture at Texas Tech University is dedicated to providing the highest quality professional and educational experience to its students. Through a broad range of general and professional courses, the curriculum enables students to define environmental problems, to select and articulate appropriate solutions, and to guide the implementation process with a clear vision that can balance human needs with various ecosystems stewardship of the land.

The Department of Landscape Architecture & Urban Planning (LAUP) at Texas A&M is the only department of its kind in the nation. We offer an unmatched set of degree programs in three distinct but related disciplines that plan, design and develop places.

Urban planning:
working with community residents to envision their future

Landscape architecture: designing beautiful and functional places that achieve established goals

Land & property development: laying the groundwork for a new urban place

The Landscape Architecture program advances design and planning solutions for environmental resiliency, urban place making, and quality of life. Through interdisciplinary teaching, research, and community engagement, the program will promote leading-edge design and planning by capitalizing on our unique place within a transferable urban lab environment (DFW).

The Graduate Program in Landscape Architecture at The University of Texas at Austin engages ecological, social, and sensory dimensions of the built environment to create resilient, equitable, and vibrant places in our rapidly changing world. Our professional and post-professional curricula bring together theories to comprehend landscapes in their specific contexts, methods to understand the effects of possible change, and practices to enable design-based action.
