Whether you're looking to create a career in landscape architecture and design, or a career in horticulture, we offer a robust series of course offerings.

Get skills for professional success with two certificates: the Landscape Architecture Certificate and the Horticulture Certificate.

And if you're looking for a quicker, more focused study, take a look at our three specializations: Arboriculture, Gardening, and Plants for the Landscape.

All courses are designed to accommodate the schedules of busy working professionals, with classes offered conveniently in the evenings and on weekends.

You'll learn from academics and professionals currently working in the field, in a setting that allows you to build networks with colleagues and professionals.

And best of all, your UCLA experience will pave the way for a career in the horticulture and landscape architecture industry.

What's the difference between certificates and specializations?

A certificate offers in-depth study of a professional field through coursework that balances theory and practice, providing learners knowledge and expertise in less time than many traditional postgraduate degrees. A specialization is a short series of courses designed to help you quickly gain knowledge in a focused area of study and acquire in-demand skills sought by employers.

Every instructor I've had became a piece of who I am as a designer.
