Change of Major Process
Students desiring to be considered for a change of major to landscape architecture must submit a presentation of creative work and two 500-word essays.

More detailed information on what to include in the creative work portfolio and essay can be found here.

Selection Process
The quality of the creative work and essays will be determinants in the decision. Space available in the program will determine the number of students who will be offered admission. Submissions will be received anytime between January 1 and February 15 (if February 15 falls on a Saturday, submissions will be accepted until 5:00 p.m. the following Monday). Students who are accepted will enter the program in the following fall semester.

In all cases, students selected via this process must understand that the bachelor of landscape architecture professional degree program requires a minimum of four years of design in studio courses in addition to at least one year of previous college-level education. It is not possible to accelerate the curriculum sequence.

Students who have submitted the change-of-major requirements will be notified of the decision in writing by April 1. Students who have been accepted and offered the opportunity to enter landscape architecture will be informed of the procedures to follow. NOTE: Students receiving favorable consideration from the faculty review committee must have a 2.00 or better grade-point average.
