Landscape Architecture: A Recognized STEM Discipline in Canada

The School of Environmental Design and Rural Development is very proud to have accredited graduate and undergraduate programs in Landscape Architecture, now recognized as a STEM discipline. More than an honorary title; it reflects the comprehensive blend of expertise landscape architects contribute. This designation highlights the value of scientific, technological, engineering, and mathematical underpinnings of the profession – and has informed our curricula development for decades, our continued curiosities and wonderment, and the efforts our students and faculty routinely undertake, at Guelph; we endeavour to train "stewards of both natural and built environments".  Our students have always sought to explore and employ an understanding of ecological systems, design that is sustainable, and create designed spaces that aid community well-being, enhance our biodiversity, and meet the challenges posed by climate change. SEDRD-LA is very happy to see Landscape Architecture recognized as a STEM discipline.
