Accredited Programs in Landscape Architecture |
Accreditation is a non-governmental, voluntary system of self-regulation.
Its core is the concept of self-evaluation. The Landscape Architectural
Accreditation Board (LAAB) accreditation process evaluates each program
on the basis of its stated objectives and compliance to externally mandated
minimum standards. The program conducts a self-study to evaluate how well
it is meeting its educational goals. LAAB then provides an independent
assessment, which determines if a program meets accreditation requirements.
Program’s leading to first professional degrees at the bachelor’s
or master’s levels in the United States are eligible to apply for
accreditation from LAAB.
The Board of Trustees of the American Society of Landscape Architects
recognizes the quality of educational programs leading to first professional
degrees in landscape architecture at the bachelor’s and master’s
level accredited by the Canadian Society of Landscape Architects Accreditation
Council. It regards the criteria for accreditation and many of the individual
program guidelines to be comparable to those employed by the Landscape
Architectural Accreditation Board of ASLA. A list of CSLAAC accredited
programs follows the LAAB list.
The LAAB has established a candidacy status for programs that are in
the planning or early states of development or an intermediate stage of
implemetation candidacy programs are not accredited but appear to have
potential for meeting the LAAB accredition standards.
