M. Arch - Landscape Architecture

When USC-CAFA decided to open its Masters in Architecture program, they
also decided to delay the M.Arch program specializing in Landscape
Architecture. Those interested in the program should already prepare
this coming school year although it will be offered on the school year
of 2008-2009.

Applicants to the program with a bachelor's degree in landscape
architecture won't find any problems enrolling. Those with a
bachelor's degree in architecture, however, need to "complete
undergrad subjects (3rd year BLA) specifically Design 3 (2 sems), LA
History and Theory, and LA construction courses. They are mixed with
the 3rd year BLA students during this time, although on their first
year they can already enroll in the M.Arch foundation courses." (Text
in quote are from Architect Ann Espina). This simply means they should
enrol this coming school year or earn credits from similar programs
elsewhere.

The program is also open to those with undergraduate degree on
Horticulture. They also need to enrol in the 3rd year BLA subjects.
Archt Ann Espina also clarified that:

"Any BS ARch and BS Horti enrolled in the Master program will be able
to earn the required 20 units of LA courses in their 2nd year, hence
they will be eligible to take the Board Exams by this time. Passing the
LA Board Exams is the Architect's and Horti's passport to legal
practice in LA."

I'm sure that those interested have more questions to ask. As mentioned
earlier, if they plan to enroll on 2008, they should already start
asking their questions now.
