Students can enroll in the Master of Science program that has seven fields of study, a Master of Landscape Architecture program, or a PhD program in which students choose between two primary tracks: a natural science focus or a social science focus. To remove the barriers for qualified applicants, SEAS is now waiving its application fee, and the school is no longer requiring the submission of GRE scores for all masters and PhD programs.
