The Texas A&M landscape architecture program\u2019s longstanding status as one of the nation\u2019s best was reaffirmed in new rankings that also include an acknowledgement of Galen Newman, associate professor in the Department of Landscape Architecture and Urban Planning<\/a>, as an exemplary educator.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe program is one of the College of Architecture\u2019s jewels and we are deeply proud of this acknowledgement,\u201d said Dawn Jourdan, the college\u2019s executive associate dean.<\/p>\n

Texas A&M\u2019s graduate<\/a> and undergraduate<\/a> landscape architecture programs ranked fourth on a list of \u201cLandscape Architecture Schools Most Hired From by Firms\u201d in a list of similarly sized schools.<\/p>\n

The rankings and educator recognitions, based on surveys from design professionals, academic administrators, recent graduates and students, were published<\/a> by DesignIntelligence, a company dedicated to the business success of built environment-related firms.<\/p>\n

In the rankings, which include design programs from across the nation, Texas A&M\u2019s landscape architecture undergraduate program ranked 11th<\/sup> and its graduate program ranked 15th<\/sup> in DesignIntelligence\u2019s \u201cMost Admired Landscape Architecture Schools\u201d list.<\/p>\n

Newman was named to the \u201cLandscape Architecture \u2014 Most Admired Educators\u201d list, which honors excellence in design education.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is well known for leadership in teaching and research interdisciplinary collaborations and exemplifies the role of teacher-scholar,\u201d said Jourdan.<\/p>\n

An associate head of the Department of Landscape Architecture and Urban Planning and head of the Center for Housing and Urban Development<\/a>, Newman studies the reuse of vacant properties in cities, land use science, spatial analytics, and community flood resilience.<\/p>\n

His award-winning research, funded by many internal and external sources such as the National Science Foundation and the National Institute of Health, appears in numerous, peer-reviewed publications including the Journal of the American Planning Association, Landscape Journal, Environment and Planning B, Landscape Research, and Cities.<\/p>\n

In addition to the most admired schools and educators lists, DesignIntelligence also publishes lists of programs that excel in design focus areas.<\/p>\n

The undergraduate program ranked sixth in interdisciplinary studies, which highlight an awareness of and collaboration with multiple disciplines that impact the built environment. The graduate program ranked eighth in transdisciplinary collaboration with architecture, engineering and construction fields.<\/p>\n

The undergraduate program also appeared in the top 10 in the following lists: design technology; design theory and practice; engineering fundamentals; and practice management and research.<\/p>\n

The Most Admired Educators list also includes Omar Faruque \u201971, head of the Department of Landscape Architecture at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.<\/p>\n

Faruque, who is also a widely published author, will be honored as one of six new Outstanding Alumni of the Texas A&M College of Architecture Nov. 14, 2019.<\/p>\n
