Department of Landscape Architecture
Landscape Architecture is an environmental design discipline. Landscape architects actively shape the human environment: they map, interpret, imagine, draw, build, conceptualize, synthesize, and project ideas that transform landscapes. The design process involves creative expression that derives from an understanding of the context of site (or landscape) ecosystems, cultural frameworks, functional systems, and social dynamics. Students in our program learn to change the world around them by re-imagining and re-shaping the landscape to enhance its aesthetic and functional dimensions, ecological health, cultural significance, and social relevance. The Department of Landscape Architecture was established as a department in the Division of Agriculture in 1929. In 1975, the department's name was changed to the Department of Landscape Architecture and Community Planning. In 1978, community planning was spun off from the department, and the Department of Landscape Architecture became part of the newly established College of Design. Dates of Existence: 1929–present

History
The College of Design was organized in 1978, composed of the Departments of Architecture (previously in the College of Engineering), Art and Design (College of Home Economics), Landscape Architecture (College of Agriculture) and Community and Regional Planning (previously part of the Department of Landscape Architecture and Community Planning). Prior to the formation of the college, these departments cooperated through the Design Center, which was established in 1967.

In 2012, the college restructured its programs into seven departments, as the Departments of Graphic Design, Industrial Design, Interior Design and Integrated Studio Arts were created from the former Department of Art and Design.
