Conway School of Landscape Design
About
The Conway School of Landscape Design in Northampton, Massachusetts, is best known for its intensive, ten-month Master of Science in Ecological Design program centered on sustainable land planning and climate resilience. Rather than working on hypothetical assignments, students engage in a hands-on, studio-centric curriculum where they complete real-world site and regional design projects for actual clients, including municipalities, non-profits, and conservation groups. The small student body fosters a collaborative and mission-driven culture rooted in a shared commitment to environmental justice, site-specific planning, and ecological literacy. This distinctive model of client-based, practical service within an accelerated timeframe sets Conway apart from traditional graduate landscape architecture programs.
