Landscape Architectural Accreditation Board
Overview
Established in 1978 The Landscape Architectural Accreditation Board (LAAB) is an independent agency that is responsible for evaluating and accrediting landscape architecture programs in the United States. LAAB was established in 1978 as part of the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) and it became an independent organization in 1982. The LAAB evaluates landscape architecture programs at the bachelor's and master's degree levels to ensure that they meet high academic standards and prepare students for professional practice in the field. The accreditation process involves a thorough review of each program's curriculum, faculty, facilities and resources, as well as an assessment of student performance and outcomes. Programs that meet the LAAB's rigorous standards are granted accreditation for a period of six years. Accreditation by the LAAB is important for both students and employers in the field of landscape architecture. It ensures that graduates of accredited programs have received a high-quality education and are prepared to enter the workforce with the knowledge and skills necessary for success. Accreditation also provides assurance to employers that graduates have met rigorous academic standards and are well-prepared for professional practice. The LAAB is recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) as an accrediting agency for landscape architecture programs in the United States. This recognition is based on the LAAB's demonstrated ability to meet CHEA's rigorous standards for accrediting agencies.
