Studio and field instruction introduces the student to professional skills and knowledge, including design theory, landscape inventory and analysis, and application of the design process to projects at the site scale. Graphic and oral communication includes the development of design and spatial literacy, use of two-dimensional and three-dimensional visual representation, and use of analogue and digital media.

Lecture and field instruction introduces the student to basic knowledge and skills of site engineering as it relates to landscape architecture. Topics include surveying, principles of site grading and drainage, introduction to materials and methods of construction, and graphic communication.

Studio and field instruction continues the student's development of design knowledge and landscape representational skills applied at the site scale. The studio takes as its central focus the creation of space and form through landform manipulation and vegetation design to create varied human-scaled experiences within the context of a site.

Studio instruction emphasizes design implementation, materials and methods of construction, introduction to green infrastructure, construction specifications and graphic communication using computer applications.

Studio and field instruction emphasizes integration of ecological, social, cultural and historical factors in the comprehensive design of community landscapes. Students will consider issues of decolonization, spatial justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion.

This course focuses on the history of Landscape Architecture. The development of oral and writing skills is emphasized.

This course focuses on the legal, business, ethical and professional practices of Landscape Architecture professionals. The development of oral and writing skills is also emphasized.

A seminar course focussed on the process and communication of research, influenced by the current research of the participants. Participants organize a conference to present their research results.

Integrated field and classroom instruction introduces the student to inventory and analysis of biological, physical, social and cultural elements of the landscape. Projects incorporate principles of landscape ecology and landscape planning. Field study requires some travel at student's expense.

This course integrates field studio and classroom study to apply landscape ecology to current landscape problems, including analysis of regional landscapes, restoration of degraded landscapes, and application of aesthetic and ecological principles across spatial scales in site to regional settings. Case studies component require some travel at students' expense.

This course focuses on landscape planning, emphasizing the integration and interrelationships between biophysical and cultural resources, with application at a regional landscape planning scale. This course typically incorporates community-outreach projects.

This course further develops students' visual communication knowledge and skills through the methods, media and terminology of digital design communication, and provides an opportunity to exercise and develop modes of creative visual representation, through specialized research topics and seminars, and workshops.

Students are introduced to critical inquiry and research analysis in order to evaluate information related to landscape architecture. The focus of the course is on qualitative and quantitative analysis and interpretation. Students will review, critique, summarize, and explain academic research that is relevant for landscape architecture.

In preparation for the capstone design or thesis project, students will be introduced to a broad array of research methods are introduced as they apply to landscape planning and design, with a focus on the connections between research and design. The course includes qualitative and quantitative analysis and interpretation. Students will review, critique, summarize, and explain academic research that is relevant for landscape architecture.

This studio course reinforces the preparation of independent student landscape architectural design projects. Students develop a project work-plan proposal, prepare professional design and presentation drawings, and provide formal presentations of their work. Students are encouraged to select problem topics that require an interdisciplinary approach and that integrate the skills and knowledge obtained in previous courses to produce a comprehensive final design project.

Independent study. A proposal for the content and product required for this course must be developed in conjunction with the student's Advisory Committee.

Students carry out original and independent research on a topic related to landscape architecture. Students interested in doing a thesis must approach a potential supervisor in semester 4 (semester 2 if holder of BLA) and have a proposal approved by their advisory committee to enrol in this course.
