Biographical / Historical
The Department of Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning (LAEP) was established in 1939 by Professor Laval S. Morris as a program within the Department of Horticulture, under the administration of the School of Agriculture. Soon after the Utah Agricultural College became Utah State University in 1957, the College of Arts and Sciences (predecessor to the College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences) took over the administration of the LAEP. The department remained under the College of Arts and Sciences until 2010, when it was transferred to the College of Agriculture and Applied Sciences.
Beginning in 2025, LAEP now operates out of the S.J. and Jessie E. Quinney College of Agriculture and Natural Resources. See the History of LAEP for more information.
