Interdisciplinary by design

A natural meeting point for disciplines across campus.

A well-defined program can connect curriculum development, faculty research, student experience, sustainability, public health, and the living landscape of a campus.

Relevant partners may include academic leaders, faculty, student-affairs and wellbeing teams, sustainability groups, and horticulture programs.

Scope clarification

Our focus is program and curriculum development. Landscape architecture, construction, and clinical services require appropriately qualified professionals.
