Does anyone know what university has the best landscape architecture design program?
I’d suggest that your friend visit his local library. Most libraries will have at least the current year’s Peterson’s Guides, which will at least give him a list of what institutions offer this degree. If they don’t have Peterson’s Guides, they may have something similar, such as the College Blue Book or another guide to which colleges have what programs. To give you an idea of what’s out there, I checked Peterson’s Testing & Education Resource Center (a library database) and found 67 programs in landscape architecture. While Peterson’s doesn’t rank the schools best-to-worst, they do list how difficult the overall college or university (not just the program) is to get into. Those schools with landscape architecture programs and a ranking of “Very Difficult” were: University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign University of Wisconsin-Madison University of Michigan University of Florida University of British Columbia North Carolina State University College of the Atlantic (Bar Harbor, ME) Un
