A unique feature of Purdue University’s Landscape Architecture Program is the student co-op program. Students are placed in professional offices for a minimum period of forty weeks between their third and fourth years. Office locations are nationwide and have even included employment in England and Japan. Purdue graduates have consistently enjoyed a high employment rate due in part to this valuable period of professional experience. It is not uncommon for a fourth year student to have a standing offer of employment upon graduation tendered by their co-op office.
