To be a licensed landscape architect, one must have a Bachelor's degree. This degree is usually granted by a Landscape Architecture school that meets the requirements of the Association of Landscape Architects Accreditation Board (ALAEB). A Master's Degree in Urban or Regional Planning coupled with about two years experience may satisfy the requirements for registration as an Associate Member of AILA (American Institute of Landscape Architects) and admission to examinations for professional membership.

No. Landscape or horticulture is not an occupation that requires a degree. From entry level landscaping jobs, to the most technical of landscape architecture and design, individuals who fulfill what are known as "entry-level qualifications" can do the job.

ou should have a college degree to get into the landscaping business, and you'll need to know about soil erosion prevention too.
Landscaping is not just about cutting grass or watering flowers. A lot about the work depends on what type of plants are involved and more complex tasks like proper stacking for firewood lengthwise to prevent it from being wasted by splitting. A landscaper also needs knowledge in soils science, water chemistry, plant biology, pest control with proper certification, arboriculture so they can handle tree removal or trimming safely and properly... which can also be made available at college level through various vocational programs.

Landscaping is a skill-based trade, not a college (or post high school) degree.
There is an online college course being offered for landscapers by the Mississippi Department of Transportation. The course material includes site management, design concepts and practices, turf and ornamental planting, soil analysis and water conservation and selection considerations. For those who want to take their education just a step further, there are also courses offered in landscape horticulture at many colleges across the country both 2 year degrees as well as 4 year degrees at major universities though not every university offers all of these programs.

Many landscape design institutions offer a degree in Landscape Design, but it depends on the person and what they want to do. Many landscape designers never go to college or sometimes they might take one or two courses before being hired. There are many examples of successful landscape designers who have never gone past high school. A degree is not always required for this type of job. Some people might prefer teaching themselves through books without any formal schooling, some may require more education and lectures help them take their drawing skills to next level.
