"I’m inspired to study landscape architecture because it is part of a cycle that can be restorative—for society, ecosystems, the mind, body, and soul."

"After making the decision to switch careers, I knew I’d have to go back to grad school to pursue my Master of Landscape Architecture. I looked at programs all over the county but was drawn to CU Denver because of its setting within an urban environment surrounded by unique landscapes like the shortgrass prairie and the Rocky Mountains and foothills."
Steven Pearlman
Horticulture Club Chair
"I chose to study Landscape Architecture at CU Denver because it’s a field that fundamentally incorporates conservation biology and social justice issues, and can create functional spaces that dramatically improve the health of people and nature. Something that I’ve learned so far in this program is that landscape architecture influences our lives on a daily basis and has the beautiful ability to connect people with their environment."
