West Virginia University, Bachelors, Landscape Architecture
4 year ASLA accredited Landscape Architecture program. Beyond the 136 hour requirements, I took GIS courses, one being a Master's level course offered to undergraduate student's who were interested.
WVU LA students begin their professional studies in Landscape Architecture developing drafting, graphic, and computer skills applicable to a variety of design problems. Upon conclusion of the sophomore year, students are required to submit representative examples of their work as a condition for progressing into the final two years of the program. During the third year, students develop planting design and construction skills while the design sequence simultaneously introduces problems ranging from small-scale to regional contexts in recreation, housing, conservation and urban development.
Examples of core courses include but are not limited to landscape architectural drawing, computer graphics in landscape architecture, landscape construction materials and methods, planting design, natural systems design and regional design.
Finally, senior year comprised of more urban contexts and finished with a semester long group "Senior Project" that required several phases of analyzing and design.
