Hey Jeff, do yourself a favor and don’t go into landscape architecture. I just graduated from the U of M LA program six months ago and I’m sure that most of my classmates and I have have not found a decent job in landscape architecture! There are no jobs in this field period! Zero, nothing. The minuscule number of places that are hiring are looking for people with years of experience.
Also, a rigorous three year program is really NOT worth the time and effort. LA’s are under-appreciated, underpaid and most of them end up doing nothing but planting plans that any old gardener could do for a fraction of the cost. Go into something you can make a decent living with, like computer science, engineering, or regular old architecture.
