At NC State, the Department of Architecture and Landscape Design was established in 1946, with the departments reorganized into the present-day College of Design in 1948 (under Henry Kamphoefner), according to here: http://historicalstate.lib.ncsu.edu/timelines/highlights-in-nc-state-history

It is mostly a graduate program, at this point, and has seen quite a resurgence in the past few years with many student awards and competition wins under our belt (I’m a recent graduate so a bit biased).

It would appear LSU’s Landscape Architecture program started somewhere around the 1940’s/1950’s, it’s not real clear in their department bio.

UGA undergrad program started in 1928 and has been accredited since 1952. Grad program started in 1954.

Thanks to all so far. So we have UGA, NC State, and LSU…which makes 3, close to my recollection. Looking for #4….or whether the number exceeds that (pre Vietnam War era)…

the BLA program at Mississippi State Univ. began in the mid 1960’s and accreditation was given in 1972 if I remember correctly….I didn’t know what the big deal was at the time…now I do.

Oh, and they added the MLA many years later…not sure of the date.
