As a Landscape Architecture Major, you can:

• Explore a variety of courses that can count towards general education requirements, related courses, and electives.
• Participate in an internship, field study, or research experience abroad to gain real-world experience.

The earliest term that you are able to participate in an experience abroad is the summer directly after your first year. Students should meet with their academic advisor and discuss which semester might be best for them to go abroad. Flexibility regarding what courses Landscape Architecture students may be able to take abroad and in what term they can go may vary depending on course availability and sequencing within the major.

When planning an experience abroad, be sure to keep in mind your electives, any extra credits you may be able to use to your advantage, as well as current and upcoming terms in your course of study. For students who have a strict course sequence to follow each semester, a summer or winter program might be a good option.

These programs are recommended based on your academic interests but students can explore additional approved program options via the Program Search.
