Landscape Architects

Significant Points

  • More than 26 percent of all landscape architects are self-employed—more than 3 times the proportion for all professionals.
  • A bachelor's degree in landscape architecture is the minimum requirement for entry-level jobs; many employers prefer to hire landscape architects who also have completed at least one internship.
  • Landscape architect jobs are expected to increase due to a growing demand for incorporating natural elements into man-made environments, along with the need to meet a wide array of environmental restrictions.
