LAAB Accreditation

Landscape Architecture

In the United States, most registration boards require a degree from an accredited professional degree program as a prerequisite for licensure. The National Landscape Architectural Accrediting Board (LAAB), is the sole agency authorized to accredit professional degree programs in landscape architecture offered by institutions with U.S. regional accreditation. A program may be granted a six-year, or two-year term of accreditation, depending on the extent of its conformance with established educational standards.

Jefferson's College of Architecture, Design & Engineering program offers the following LAAB-accredited degree program:

  1. Founded in 2006, the Landscape Architecture Program leads to a Bachelor of Landscape Architecture degree and has been accredited by LAAB since 2007.

  3. In September of 2021, the Landscape Architecture Accreditation Board, (LAAB), granted the Landscape Architecture program a six-year accreditation term.
