Step Three: Present Creative Work
Referred applicants will be contacted by the College of Design and invited to participate in Admissions Review Days which will occur during late January and early February. Due to the number of applicants being seen, appointments cannot be rescheduled unless there are extreme extenuating circumstances.
Applicants are required to submit a 200-word essay on the subject: "Why do you want to study landscape architecture?"
Applicants should also bring a collection of “creative work” that reflects creative potential. Examples could include drawings, photographs, papers, artwork, poems, reports, studies, performances or objects of various types. Student should be prepared to discuss these items.
Applicants will be interviewed by a committee of two faculty and one student. Each applicant should be prepared to address the following issues orally:
-
Why do you want to study landscape architecture?
- What is a problem you have solved in the past? How did you solve it? What was creative about your solution?
- What are the most challenging/interesting things you have done in the past? What would you like to do in the future?
The College of Design reserves the right to deny applicants who submit fraudulent or plagiarized materials. Creative work and the essay should be the product of the student only.
