Prospective Students and Guests
Welcome to Landscape Architecture, Regional and Community Planning in the College of Architecture Planning and Design at Kansas State University.
Message from the Department Head Dan Donelin, FASLA
What is it that makes Kansas State University a great place to study Landscape Architecture or Regional and Community Planning? Is it the students? Definitely! They come mostly from Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska. However, we also have students from California, Texas, Oklahoma, Illinois, Utah, and many other areas of the country. They come because they have investigated what we have to offer and like what they found. A caring faculty with a great deal of teaching and professional experience; low student faculty ratios where no one gets lost in the crowd; a rigorous curriculum that will prepare them for a professional career; a learning environment that encourages communication between faculty and students; and a college that offers other design disciplines from which to interact. Very much like the real world!
Kansas State University and Manhattan, Kansas is a friendly place with many educational and extracurricular opportunities. The University, with its 22,000 students, and the City of Manhattan and its 45,000 residents, share many social and cultural activities as well as the landscape beauty of the surrounding Flint Hills.
The College of Architecture, Planning and Design is located in Seaton Hall, one of the oldest and most historic buildings on campus. Fortunately, due to a recent six million dollar renovation, it has been transformed into one of the most modern educational facilities in the country.
The college has curriculums in Regional and Community Planning, Landscape Architecture, Architecture, and Interior Architecture and Product Design. The Department of Landscape Architecture/Regional and Community Planning offers an undergraduate degree in Landscape Architecture with 110 students, second year through the fifth year; the Master of Landscape Architecture program is a seven-semester program with 27 students presently enrolled; and the Master of Regional and Community is a four semester program with 19 students enrolled.
The Landscape Architecture and Planning programs (BLA, MLA and MRCP) provide an extraordinary educational experience that is recognized nationally for the high quality and capability of its graduates. Employment of our students is almost 100% prior to graduation and our graduates advance quickly to positions of responsibility and leadership.
