I want to become a landscape architect
I got my bachelors in Studio Fine Art and would like to become a landscape architect. I do not have any real experience in the field, but i will be taking a CAD intro class at the local community college to better my chances of getting into Grad School as well as a GRE study course. My question is, should I try to get a second bachelors in landscape architecture or will it hurt me when trying to find a job? My GPA from school was 3.1 the last sixty hours and I am still struggling to write my letter of intent for Grad school. I'm not even sure if its that good, seeing that i don't have a whole lot of experience. So would i have better chances of getting into a BLA program or a MLA program? Also if any one could tell me how long it takes to get a second bachelors it would be a great help.
Thank you!
I dont know how long it would take you to get a second bachelors, that depends on how the classes from your first degree match up and transfer to that program. I guess it could take you from 1-3 or more years.
If I were you, I would apply to both undergrad and grad programs. However, I would first try to get into the grad program, and only resort to the undergrad program if it is your last hope of getting the degree. Many people's graduate degrees are different form their undergraduate degrees.
Lastly, no it will not hurt you having two degrees. Many people double major in college. Your future employer will only care about two things: your landscape architecture degree and any relevant work expreience.
Good luck!
