Martha Schwartz gets tenure
Harvard University's Graduate School of Design has finally awarded tenure to acclaimed landscape architect Martha Schwartz, who has taught at the school since 1987. She's the first female professor to get tenure in the school's 106 years, and the move came after Schwartz last January threatened to resign, charging that the landscape architecture department was a bastion of sexism.
Tennessee - New Landscape Architecture Program
The University of Tennessee will begin offering a master's degree in landscape architecture beginning in the fall of 2008. The state's higher education commission granted final approval for the program late last month. The program will be offered by the College of Architecture and Design and the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources. UT architecture professor Tracy Moir-McClean said "We have realized the need to educate landscape architects in Tennessee for years, and finally, we have made it happen." The school will offer different degree programs, one for students who wish to become accredited landscape architects, and the others for students who want to conduct research in the field but do not want to be registered professional practitioners.
The deadline for applications for the fall 08 semester is February 1, 2008.
