North Carolina State University, Department of Landscape Architecture Records 1949-1973, undated

http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/findingaids/ua110_019

This collection includes correspondence and miscellaneous documents from Richard R. Wilkinson's term as director of the landscape architecture program, as well as instructional materials from landscape architecture and related design courses. The Department of Landscape Architecture was an original component of North Carolina State University's College of Design, known at its founding in 1948 as the School of Architecture and Landscape Design. In 1927, Professor Joseph Plummer Pillsbury initiated a curriculum in landscape architecture in the Department of Horticulture. By 1942, the Division of Landscape Architecture within the Department of Horticulture offered a Bachelor of Science in Landscape Architecture degree. When Henry Kamphoefner came to head the School of Design in 1948, he retained the three professors teaching in this division and made one of them, Edwin G. Thurlow, the department head. From its founding, the Department of Landscape Architecture in the School of Design offered the first five-year bachelor's degree in Landscape Architecture in the country. The American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) accredited the program in 1951. In 1968, North Carolina State University approved the Master of Landscape Architecture degree and replaced the five-year bachelor's degree with a four-year Bachelor in Environmental Design in Landscape Architecture degree. The ASLA accredited the Master of Landscape Architecture degree in 1972. The Department of Landscape Architecture reintroduced the five-year Bachelor of Landscape Architecture degree in 1994. Early in its history, the department began its tradition of outreach to the local community and the state, as students contributed to projects in the city of Raleigh and throughout North Carolina.
