景观建筑学硕士-环境规划

风景园林学硕士课程侧重于环境规划，为期两年，面向具有环境科学或管理学背景，风景园林学，城市研究，规划或设计专业的本科学位的学生。学位课程课程需要55个单元。环境规划是自然科学和社会科学的应用，以促进无害环境的自然资源开发和管理。它是一个广阔的领域，架桥了地质，土壤，水文学，植物和野生动植物生态学，法律和公共政策等学科。许多环境规划师也是这些领域的专家，他们与规划师的不同之处在于，他们具有分析，管理和决策能力，可根据土地和自然资源的适当使用决策来做出决策。
The Master of Landscape Architecture with an emphasis in environmental planning is a two-year program for students with a strong background in the environmental sciences or management, or undergraduate degrees in landscape architecture, urban studies, planning, or design. The degree program curriculum requires 55 units.<br><br>Environmental planning is the application of natural and social science to promote environmentally sound development and management of natural resources. It is a broad field, bridging the disciplines of geology, soils, hydrology, plant and wildlife ecology, law, and public policy. Many environmental planners are also specialists in these fields, what distinguishes them as planners is that they bring analytical, managerial, and policy-making skills to bear on decisions about the appropriate use of land and natural resources.<br><br>Underlying the process is the philosophy that better land-use decisions will result if the decision makers are better informed about the environmental effects of alternative actions. Thus, the environmental planner pulls information together from various disciplines and presents it in a form comprehensible to decision makers. This involves working closely with specialists in interactions that draw upon the planner's background in these specializations.
