I am going to be graduating with a Bachelors degree (geography) at the end of the year and I am interested in pursuing a M.L.A. Although I have no design experience, I feel that I have the drive, and creativity to succeed in the field. My problem is that I can not draw. I've never had to draw in my undergraduate classes. Will this hinder me? Also many schools ask for a portfolio with your application, and since my degree is in geography, I have nothing that could go in a portfolio of work. Could anyone clear these things up for me?

PS: I can make a mean model, just dont ask me to draw anything.

Most architectural drawing is done with computers these days - CAD (computer aided drafting) I'm not in this field but my daughter and son-in-law have taken a lot of CAD and my engineer spouse also used CAD a bunch.

Landscape Architecture: Live Well by Design. What can you do with a degree in landscape architecture from Washington State University? Design and ...

I am an urban planning major in college. Does anyone have any suggestion on whether should peruse a masters in urban planning, a masters in landscape architecture, or a dual degree program (MURP and MLA)?

The urban planning degree will give you more job prospects. You might be able to take some courses in the landscape architecture side, or maybe get a certification (fewer classes).

Ok I am currently at a four year private school and I am a junior. I am a business administration major but I have ALWAYS wanted to be a landscape architect and I am transferring schools so I can be closer to home. However, I am going stick with business administration and I plan on getting my bachelors in it in spring 2009.

Here is my situation, I have heard that I could go to graduate school for "Master of Landscape Architecure" and get my masters in that, therefore I get a that nice combo. I have been advised that it is sort of late to try to get my bachelors now in Landscape architecture because I would spend another entire academic year just doing the pre-reqs to get into the program which is going to hold me back longer.

What do you guys think? What should I do? Is it a good idea to just get my bachelors in business then master in landscape architecture? please give me any ideas/advice I would really appreciate it.

Thanks alot!

Yes do just that!
I had a avery similar situation to yours i graduated with a degree in liberal arts and chose to wait till graduate school to study architecture.

I am doing my masters now and it was a great decision. Because when you study at the graduate level in a discipline like architecture or landscape arch it is MUCH more enjoyable and a better learning experience overall..

good luck

I am looking to change careers and am considering getting my Masters in Landscape Architecture. (I already have a Bachelor degree.)

Upon graduation with this Masters degree, can anyone tell me what kind of salary I should expect?

And what your thoughts are on the field of study?

Thanks! :)
