Our Landscape Design Training

The Arnold Arboretum Programs at Harvard University are made up of 12 core graduate-level courses. Required are 3 levels of design studios, along with courses in Site Engineering, Construction, Drafting, Plant Materials and a variety of Landscape History courses. 

A year-long, large-scale design or landscape history research project is required as a graduating thesis. The projects shown in this section were created by current students, several of whom are graduating this year.  Also shown are final drawings from three theses from the class that graduated in 2001.
