UIUC’s Landscape Architecture program—among the oldest in the United States—prepares students to sculpt urban waterfronts, rural greenways, and post-industrial ecologies. Studios integrate GIS-driven site analysis, climate-adaptive planting design, and community charrettes, while the 60-acre Arboretum serves as a living lab for storm-water wetlands and pollinator meadows. Field semesters in Chicago and Barcelona expose majors to global precedents, and cross-college collaborations let them prototype smart-park furniture with engineering peers. Graduates lead design firms, municipal planning departments, and environmental NGOs shaping healthier, justice-centered landscapes worldwide.
