Performance
It is expected that each landscape architecture student will be able to demon-strate qualitative growth in the 4 objective areas by the end of the semester. Competency must be demonstrated in decision making and form determination based upon the student's understanding of landscape architecture design methodologies.

Prior to advancing to the senior year, all students will present a compendium of their junior work for review by the landscape architecture faculty.

Each student is required to complete an internship with a professional firm prior to entering the senior year. In this regard, the student may wish to register for LAA 4940 - Internship, to meet this professional requirement.
