The Department of Landscape Architecture offers gradu- ate work leading to the Master of Landscape Architecture, an advanced professional degree program. Emphasis areas include landscape architectural theory and design, com- munications, landscape management, ethics and aesthet- ics, environmental quality, and ecological, cultural, and behavioral assessment. Course work and/or interdiscipli- nary studies are available in the graduate programs in urban and regional planning, architecture, and building construc- tion as well as in graduate programs in other colleges. Course work in landscape architecture is aimed toward research in the discipline and provides opportunities for study in one or more areas advancing the knowledge or capability of the professional. It is the intent of the Depart- ment of Landscape Architecture to achieve accreditation. Students are admitted for advanced studies as follows: 1. Related or Nonrelated Degree Base.-All persons holding baccalaureate degrees in any academic area may apply. A portfolio of studio work examples is required of students from related degree backgrounds. Students are admitted for summer semester and must complete of up to 45 semester hours of articulation courses to meet basic knowledge and skill requirements. Articulation courses do not count toward the graduate degree and must be com- pleted prior to beginning the 52-hour program. Students matriculating in this track will be in a first professional program at the master's level. Students admitted to this track should have adequate undergraduate training in biological, physical, and behav- ioral sciences. Articulation and graduate work is normally completed in two and one-half to four years. 2. Bachelor of Landscape Architecture Degree Base.- All persons from any state, territory, or foreign country holding this degree or its equivalent as determined by accreditation standards may apply. Twelve hours of the 52- hour requirement designated as core courses may be taken ateitherthe University of Florida orthe Florida International University campus. 3. Advanced Professional Life Experience (APLE) Base.- It is recognized that substantial practice in an agency or office can be documented and examined. Landscape archi- tects who are licensed or certified to practice in any state, territory, or foreign country and who meet graduate admis- sions requirements may apply. Where I icensureor certifica- tion is not a condition for employment, landscape archi- tects who meet all other requirements should also consider this track. All APLE documentation is retained by the Department. Students must take LAA 6215 during their first semester of registration. A minimum of 30 semester hours including 6 hours of thesis is required. In addition, all students in who have earned graduate credit in related fields in the University of Florida may transfer six to eight semester hours (two courses) toward the degree requirement. Such a transfer of credit requires the approval of the Department and the Dean of the Graduate School. Students with BLA or APLE base are encouraged to enter the program in fall semester and normally complete the work in one to two academic years. Applications for admission and APLE documentation must be received 90 days prior to the beginning of the desired semester. In addition to course work, students who cannot docu- ment a landscape architecture work experience are re- quired to complete a supervised internship in a public agency or private sector office. All students must complete a thesis or project. LAA 6215-Advanced Landscape Architecture Practice (3) Pro- file development of office practice in the United States.
