# LAAB Accreditation
The Department of Landscape Architecture offers fully accredited Master of Landscape Architecture and Bachelor of Science in Landscape Architecture programs. Maintaining accreditation is a central requirement of offering professional degrees in Landscape Architecture.
Accreditation is granted by the Landscape Architectural Accreditation Board (LAAB), an autonomous committee of the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA). the LAAB evaluates and confers accreditation upon landscape architecture programs which have demonstrated the ability to meet externally mandated minimum standards as well as their own stated program objectives.
Accreditations conferred by LAAB last for a term of five years. CPPLA was fully re-accredited in the summer of 2023.
