Students who already hold an accredited landscape architecture degree.

申请材料清单

1.Ademic statement of purpose

For master's applicants: Your academic statement of purpose is your opportunity to introduce yourself to faculty and explain how graduate study at SEAS fits into your plans. Faculty members use the statements to understand your education and career objectives, as well as to see how well you write and organize your thoughts. Ideally, your statement should be concise (not more than two double-spaced pages), well-written, and describe your academic and research background, your career and educational objectives, and how an SEAS graduate program will help you meet your goals. Please indicate your planned field of study and the faculty members with whom you wish to work.

2.Personal statement

The personal statement (500 words) should convey how your background and life experiences, including cultural, geographical, financial, educational or other opportunities or challenges, have motivated your decision to pursue a graduate degree at the University of Michigan. For example, if you grew up in a community where opportunities were either especially plentiful or especially lacking, you might discuss the impact this had on your development and interests. This should be a discussion of the journey that has led to your decision to seek a graduate degree. The personal statement will be included in your application materials sent to the SEAS review committee, but traditionally evaluation has focused on the statement of purpose, which will likely command the bulk of their attention. Please do not repeat your academic statement of purpose.
