Licensing Requirements

• Licensing requirements for landscape architects differ by state. Some states require landscape architects to pass a written examination, while others allow employees to work under the supervision of someone who already holds a license. It is expected by many employers that architects will continue their education either by attending accredited courses or by using other learning methods. This continuing education is particularly important because of the advancement of technology and changes in environmental laws.
• Better job prospects and advancement are available to those students who obtain the most formal education. It’s also recommended that landscape architects join professional organizations such as the American Society of Landscape Architects.
• We hope that this level of detail on one field helps students understand that most fields require a wide range of skills and that college education and continuing education are import parts of any plan.
