LAAB Accreditation
Accreditation Status
The Landscape Architectural Accreditation Board (LAAB) is the official accreditation body for landscape architecture degrees in the United States. LAAB evaluates programs based on their stated objectives and compliance with externally mandated minimum standards. This process includes a self-study conducted by the program to assess how well it meets its educational goals. New programs typically receive accreditation after the graduation of their first class of students.
This MLA-MSRCSE is a dual degree combining a Master of Landscape Architecture (MLA) with a Master of Science (MS) in River Coastal Science and Engineering. The MLA component of the dual degree is on the normal accreditation timeline, working with LAAB to get its ‘Candidacy Status’ in Spring 2027 and its full Accreditation Status in Spring 2028, with the first graduating class.
