Get education and training in the preservation and management of cultural landscapes—places that include historic, cultural and natural resources associated with an important historic event, activity, person or group of people. The Professional Sequence in Cultural Landscape Preservation and Management helps you develop awareness and build skills through a sequence of lecture- and studio-based courses. All courses in the program are either required courses or approved electives for the Certificate Program in Landscape Architecture, which enables you to progress concurrently through both programs. Join our email list to stay informed about this program.
