Call For Comment: LAAB Accreditation Standards Revision
Pursuant
to the Landscape Architectural Accreditation Board (LAAB) Accreditation
Procedures, LAAB is tasked with
conducting ongoing and comprehensive reviews of its accreditation standards to
verify they adequately evaluate educational quality and are relevant to the
educational needs of landscape architecture students.
Every five years, LAAB conducts long-term
reviews to determine if the current standards, when viewed as a whole and
individually, are adequate to assess the quality of landscape architecture
education programs and pertinent to the education and training needs of
students. LAAB last approved revisions to the standards in 2016 as part of its
periodic review.
Starting November 1, LAAB will host a public
comment review period for the 2016 LAAB Accreditation Standards. Interested individuals should submit comments and
revisions of the 2016
LAAB Accreditation Standards on or before December 15.
