Changin my major from Business Administration to Landscape Architecture?
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!

- Definitely just finish your bachelor's in Business and get the Master in LA. I'm just about done with my bachelor's in Landscape Architecture, and it has been a really intense program. If you switch now, you'd have at least another three years before you finish your bachelor's. Plus, it will help you to have the Business Admin degree if you ever want to become an independent Landscape Architect. Good luck!
- 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
