The Department of Landscape Architecture & Urban Planning (LAUP) at Texas A&M is the only department of its kind in the nation. We offer an unmatched set of degree programs in three distinct but related disciplines that plan, design and develop places, through a unique, evidence-based approach. The Mission of LAUP is to create and disseminate knowledge and skills to enhance functional, healthy, sustainable, and resilient built and natural virtual environments through instruction, research, professional practice, and service in landscape architecture, urban planning, land development, and allied disciplines. The Department is the \u201cgo to\u201d place, both intellectually and geographically, in the United States and beyond, for the active creation of, application of, and dissemination of the knowledge and skills to design, plan, and develop is space using an evidence-based approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
LAUP is housed in the Langford Architecture Center at Texas A&M University. Located in College Station, Texas, we benefit from a close-knit community atmosphere while having easy access to four of the 20 largest cities in the United States \u2014 Houston, Dallas\/Fort Worth, San Antonio and Austin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
