Our curriculum provides a foundation in all these areas with an emphasis on design and the cultural and technical subjects that support it. Coursework includes landscape design and planning processes, graphic communications, ecology, plants and planting design, construction methods, and environmental history. We foster the development of creative and problem-solving abilities, communication skills, technical knowledge, environmental awareness, and professional attitudes. In most courses, students develop design proposals or technical solutions for actual sites. Additionally, the curriculum includes extensive field studies and day trips within the Los Angeles region. </p> </div> <div class="col-lg-6"> <div class="disclaimer-and-buttons"> <p> For the most up-to-date information on courses for this program, visit the course catalog or contact an advisor. </p> <div class="courses-buttons"> <a class="button button__primary--light-green button1__transducer" href="https://catalog.cpp.edu/preview_program.php?catoid=68&poid=18622 ">See Course Catalog</a> <a class="button button__primary--light-green button1__transducer" href="https://www.cpp.edu/env/landscape-architecture/academic-student-resources/advising-forms.shtml">Visit Advising</a> <a class="button button__primary--light-green button1__transducer" href="https://www.cpp.edu/env/landscape-architecture/degrees-admissions/bachelors.shtml">CPPLA Overview</a> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> </div> <div class="organism-spacer spacer__padding-top--small spacer__padding-bottom--small" style="--mobileMarginBottomOverride: 60px;"> <section class="image-text" id="content-section-2"> <div class="container"> <div class="image-text__wrapper image-text__wrapper--left"> <div class="col-12 col-md-8 col-lg-5 image-text__grid image-text__grid--gold" style="background-image:url('/common/green-and-gold/assets/images/white-grid.png')"> <div class="image-text__img"> <img alt="BSLA graduates pose in front of Building 7" src="../img/la-grads-bldg7.jpg"/> </div> </div> <div class="image-text__content"> <div class="image-text__copy col-12 col-md-8 col-lg-6 image-text__copy--white image-text__copy--regular"> <h2 class="kicker__transducer">Accreditation</h2> <h3 class="h3__proxima">Design the Public Realm</h3> <p class="body2">Programs of landscape architecture are accredited by the Landscape Architectural Accreditation Board (LAAB).
