CONTRATACIÓN DE PAISAJES

The Landscape Contracting curriculum develops a foundation around three primary areas: landscape design, horticulture and landscape construction/business. The goal of the Landscape Contracting program is to prepare students to become crew leaders, project supervisors and estimators, as well as to hold other managerial positions.

This is done by developing a student's skills in these areas: design, estimating, installation and management. The program is offered through the Department of Landscape Architecture and Regional Planning and administered through the Stockbridge School of Agriculture.

The Stockbridge School of Agriculture is central to the mission of the University of Massachusetts Amherst. We build upon a historical tradition and public commitment to support sustainable local, national, and global agriculture through research and education in economic vitality, environmental integrity, and social justice of sustainable landscape and agricultural systems.

The Stockbridge School of Agriculture engages students to become future leaders, decision makers, and critical thinkers and to create career opportunities in a rapidly changing world. Further, we provide research-based information to green-industry professionals, equine professionals, farmers, the public, policymakers, and others in agriculture to develop and promote innovative solutions to existing and emerging problems related to managed ecosystems.
