Landscape Architecture

In the United States, most registration boards require a degree from an accredited professional degree program as a prerequisite for licensure. The National Landscape Architectural Accrediting Board (LAAB), is the sole agency authorized to accredit professional degree programs in landscape architecture offered by institutions with U.S. regional accreditation.  A program may be granted a six-year, or two-year term of accreditation, depending on the extent of its conformance with established educational standards.
