Minor in Landscape Design


Adviser: Holly Nelson; Blake Hall Room 116 (holly.nelson@rutgers.edu)

Program Webpage: http://landarch.rutgers.edu/bsla-minor.html

The minor in landscape design focuses on both social and environmental aspects of landscape design. It is designed for students who are interested in design and issues related to how we form our landscapes. It is a great foundation for graduate school in design disciplines, providing grounding in architectural drawing and "reading" the landscape, and the student will develop an understanding of design thinking and how designers learn in a studio environment. The landscape design minor is not offered to students majoring in landscape architecture.

Learning Objectives
  • Read the landscape, including the social and environmental forces that shape our world;
  • Engage critically in the process of creative expression;
  • Practice design as an iterative process and foster experimentation in the making of form; and
  • Express design intentions through drawing, modeling, recording, and presentation.
