The Master of Landscape Architecture and Engineering course at Tulane University combines both fields to offer students extensive knowledge in creating precise landscaping design solutions.

The Master of Landscape Architecture and Master of Science in River-Coastal Science and Engineering is a one-of-a-kind dual degree that creates a new pathway for students interested in pursuing a career in landscape architecture and engineering, informed by both urban and architectural design and science and engineering.

Upon graduation, students will be able to assess urban and territorial scale challenges and develop projects aimed at transforming landscapes in a changing climate.

These projects will emphasise urban ecological principles at the intersection of urbanisation and natural systems and a high degree of technical and scientific resolution.

As part of this interdisciplinary landscape architecture and engineering program, housed in a leading research university, students will advance pioneering design research and cutting-edge problem-solving within the built environment.
