Program Description

Integrated Land Planning Technologies is a unique blend of landscape design, urban and regional planning, geographic information systems, computer-aided design and graphic presentation. It is a four year program which includes three co-operative education work placements. The program integrates traditional design skills with current and emerging analysis and presentation technologies. Students also complete theoretical studies that provide an aesthetic, sociological, economic, ecological, civic, and historical context, ensuring that graduates will be in high demand for positions in public and private landscape architectural firms, planning firms and architecture and engineering firms.

The Royal Botanical Gardens in Burlington has signed a memorandum of understanding with Fanshawe College and as a result, student experience is greatly enhanced through this partnership of both summer internships and programmed events at the gardens in Burlington.

Career Opportunities

Exciting careers exist in the fields of landscape design, urban and regional planning, municipal level engineering or architecture.
