景观建筑学硕士（高级专业学位）

MLA-高级专业学位是一项为期两年的认可学习计划。申请者必须持有获得认可的程序的景观设计学士学位。高级学位使优秀学生可以在主要教授和监督委员会的监督下扩展特别感兴趣的领域的知识。研究生课程主任会为所有入学学生提供建议，直到他们选择了论文主题为止。一位兴趣与学生的兴趣紧密相关的主要教授（请参见上述教职员工领域）指导论文工作。至少需要30个研究生水平的学分，包括论文工作。学生通过与主要教授和监督委员会协商的课程来补充要求。可以通过将选修课程集中在另一个部门来寻求重点或研究生专业以外的领域。为将来的专业人员准备
The MLA-Advanced Professional degree is a two-year accredited program of study. Applicants must hold baccalaureate degrees in landscape architecture from accredited programs. The advanced degree allows outstanding students to expand their knowledge in areas of special interest under the supervision of a major professor and supervisory committee. The mission of the Department of Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning's Master of Landscape Architecture graduate program is to: (1) prepare future professionals to address the dynamic issues and scales of landscapes across the Intermountain West and around the world, and (2) engage in creative intellectual work that contributes to the theory and practice of landscape architecture. The Graduate Program Director advises all incoming students until they have selected a thesis topic. A major professor whose interests are closely aligned to those of the student (see areas of faculty expertise above) supervises thesis work. A minimum of 30 graduate-level credits, including thesis work, is required. Students supplement requirements with courses negotiated with the major professor and supervisory committee. An outside area of emphasis or graduate specialization may be pursued by concentrating elective coursework in another department.
