Hi Jamie, thank you for your reply! I actually came across an article on mycoremediation a few weeks ago and I found it really interesting, so I’m glad you are aware of it as well. In terms of constructed wetlands, I did see an article that touted the benefits of creating constructed uplands as a more viable alternative, but there hasn’t been much…[Read more]

Hi Christa, I’m actually working on a student project that’s theoretical (sorry I should have mentioned that), but thank you so much for your reply! It really gave me an insight into how these types of sites are dealt with in the “real world”.

Hi Yushan,
This is totally unrelated to your question so I apologize! I was an environmental policy major as well but have so far not been accepted to any schools for an MLA (in Canada), so I was wondering if you would be willing to show me your portfolio? I’d just like to see how you incorporated your unique background as an env. politics…[Read more] -

Yeah, the certificate program I want to take is actually offered by the Horticulture department at my university! All great suggestions, and I’m definitely going to talk to each school and ask how I can improve. Thank you so much for your reply!

Right, I hadn’t considered that because I didn’t want to do another 4-5 years of school; I’m 27 so I’d ideally like to get started career-wise as soon as possible. I’ll definitely look more into BLA programs though, and see whether I would get transfer credits or not. Thanks for your input! 🙂

Jasmine Davis replied to the topic CANADA – Masters of Landscape Architecture in the forum EDUCATION 8 years, 8 months ago
Hi Carmen,
I can’t speak for the US because I haven’t looked at many of their programs but in Canada there is only one undergraduate (4 year) program in LA and it’s at Guelph, or the 5 MLA programs are 3 years for first-professional degree applicants. I believe once you get your degree it’s common practice to spend a few years in the field…[Read more] -

Hi Carmen,
Unfortunately, no! And I just found at that I didn’t get accepted to UBC haha but if I don’t get into any other programs, there’s always next year! Good luck with your future application 🙂
