Creating City and Landscape Nürtingen-Geislingen University offers at its campus in Nürtingen the internationally recognised bachelor degree program Landscape Architecture. It leads to the degree Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.). The degree programs Landscape Architecture and Landscape Planning emphasizes the development, design and the nurturing of stable, healthy and attractive cities and landscapes. Computer-aided planning tools help the students to create concepts for linking economic and ecological needs. Apart from the classic planning tools, the students have to learn the use of CAD and GIS-systems and multimedial 3D-animations for planning purposes. Nürtingen-Geislingen University houses experimental gardens and parks for demonstration and teaching. The students

The term landscape architecture first came into common use in the mid-1800s when Frederick Law Olmsted designed New York’s Central Park. Today, the profession of Landscape Architecture centers on the design, planning, and management of the exterior environment. The practice of landscape architecture, with its applications to urban, suburban, and rural environments, is very broad. This profession encompasses the analysis of sites to determine their most appropriate future uses and management practices such as development, preservation, and restoration; the arrangement of built components such as buildings, transportation systems, and pedestrian systems; and the usage of site features such as plazas,
The purpose of the Master of Landscape Architecture (MLA) program at Kansas State University is to prepare students for entry into the practice of the profession. The curriculum meets the needs of students with landscape architecture degrees (BLA) seeking professional advancement and non-landscape architecture (non-BLA) backgrounds as a first professional degree. The coursework consists of two components: the proficiency series taken by students with a non-BLA background, and the advanced graduate courses taken by all students. The MLA varies in length from two years for students entering with a BLA to seven-semesters, taken in a three-year sequence, for non-BLA students. The MLA
The practice of landscape architecture, with its applications to urban, suburban, and rural environments, is broad. This field encompasses the analysis of sites to determine their most appropriate future uses and recommends management practices such as development, preservation, or restoration; the arrangement of built components such as buildings, transportation systems, and pedestrian systems; and the design of site features such as plazas, gardens, and parks. Our regional and community planning program is internationally recognized for its approach to rural, small-town, and community-based planning, design, development, and preservation.
Landscape planning and design have been part of the curriculum at Kansas State University since 1871, being part of the required curriculum of all students in the early days of the institution. The first MLA student graduated in 1968 and the MLA program is fully accredited by the Landscape Architectural Accreditation Board of the American Society of Landscape Architects. Program definition Our definition of advanced landscape architecture education includes development of a strong foundation of traditional knowledge and skills as well as self-motivated and defined scholarship. Throughout the program, we are committed to research as a means of learning and serving communities
