5+1: Bachelor of Architecture + Master of Landscape Architecture

Enter your profession with expertise in two design disciplines, and better yet, obtain these professional degrees in only six years. You'll stand out in the boardroom and on the job site.

DUAL DEGREE Courses

You will begin to design in your first year, and the required Integrations Studio in Year 4 puts design and technical knowledge to practical use. The smooth transition into Landscape Architecture means you’ll quickly be immersed in designing complex landscape systems.

The World is Your Studio

Every semester, you'll explore in our award-winning collaborative studios, working shoulder to shoulder with your best friends, then you'll put what you're learning into practice in the real world through studio projects, Fab Lab exploration, our nationally touted design/build program, professional interactions, site visits and research.

I’m not just studying architecture. A design education challenges me to think critically about culture, politics, relationships and people. I’m becoming a better person by how I’m learning to think.

After Graduation Differentiate Yourself

The lines are blurring as design professionals from across various disciplines now collaborate for the good of their clients. Professionals with expertise in more than one discipline stand out.

These two fully accredited degrees lead to career opportunities beyond what one can do alone. Graduates are securing fulfilling employment in a variety of areas, and because they have proven expertise in both architecture and landscape architecture, they are ahead of the pack.

And, just to make sure our students are positioned to be hired, we hold a Career Day every year, where more than 50 design firms from across the country pay to attend just to speak with you.

Dual Degrees Admission First Things First

If you're interested in the 5+1 degree, you first will apply to the School of Architecture, and once you become part of Big Orange Country, you'll declare your intent to pursue the 5+1. Only our own students are given the opportunity to take part in this unique dual degree.
