College, Department, and Programs
LAUP is one of the few in the country that is home to three disciplines — landscape architecture, land and property development, and urban planning — all of which are critical in the creation and delivery of healthy, efficient, resilient, equitable, and accessible places. This combination of disciplines offers unparalleled opportunities for interdisciplinary research and teaching. LAUP includes 37 full time faculty members (41 total faculty including part-time instructors), 18 of whom are tenured or tenure-track. LAUP offers the following six degrees: the Bachelor of Science in Urban and Regional Planning, the Bachelor of Landscape Architecture (accredited), the Master in Land & Property Development, the Master of Landscape Architecture (accredited), the Master of Urban Planning (accredited), and the Ph.D. in Urban and Regional Sciences. We also offer several articulated and dual degrees. The department has strong ties to the world-renowned Hazard Reduction & Recovery Center, the Texas A&M Transportation Institute, the Center for Health Systems & Design, the Center for Geospatial Sciences, Applications and Technology, the Center for Housing & Urban Development, Texas Target Communities (a highly regarded outreach program), Texas Sea Grant, Texas A&M Real Estate Center, and other centers and certificate programs in related fields within the School of Architecture.

The College of Architecture at Texas A&M University is one of the largest of its kind in the United States. The 160 faculty members in the Departments of Architecture, Landscape Architecture & Urban Planning (LAUP), and Construction Science serve 2,960 students (2,412 undergraduate and 548 graduate students) in 14-degree programs. These cover the entire spectrum of disciplines having to do with the built environment. Although over 300,000 in population, the Bryan/College Station area maintains its small-town feel, offering a high quality of life with a low cost of living. The Bryan/College Station area is in the center of the Texas Triangle—home to more than 21 million people in four metropolitan areas (all within easy driving distance) including Houston, Dallas–Fort Worth, Austin, and San Antonio. The challenges currently facing Texas related to climate change, natural hazards, transportation, demographic composition, and economic change foreshadow the changes that the rest of the nation will experience over the next 30 years, making it a perfect laboratory for testing hypotheses and solutions related to urban and land development and management.
