Courses can be reviewed for comparative competencies in one of our master level courses by reviewing samples of work, projects, or references along with passing scores of A or B. Competency may also be demonstrated by extensive applied field experiences in landscape architectural practice. This will be reviewed by faculty based off references, resume and CV review. Showing competency will guarantee that you will complete 30 units required of the program. However, if competencies are not met, you may be required to complete up to 48 extra units of supporting coursework to ensure your success in the field.
