Student work

Pre Landscape Architecture

The pre-landscape curriculum begins with a two-year basic design core. This core introduces students to visual literacy and design fundamentals. The pre-architecture program is followed by two years of architectural instruction leading to a Bachelor of Science in Design. After receipt of the Bachelors degree, students may apply for an additional two years of study, leading to a professional Master of Architecture degree. The professional Master of Architecture degree is accredited by the National Architectural Accreditation Board (NAAB).

The College of Architecture, and all six years of the architecture program, are located in Lincoln. However, we do offer the option to do the first two years of the program at UNO. After successfully completing the prescribed pre-architecture program at UNO, students may transfer to UNL and apply for admission to the third year of study in the professional program of the Department of Architecture.

To apply for entrance into the pre-architecture program at UNL go to the university admissions website.

For more information about courses at UNO, or transferring from UNO to UNL, please contact us.
