<p>I hope that you will get feedback from students or adults that are actually practicing in each of these fields so they can give you their more expert advice. I am only a mom of a third year LA student, so I feel the best I can do is give you sites that you can check out online…Hope this helps some. </p>
<p>First I would go to a school that offers both areas and find the link with the curriculum of each area. Usually there is the courseload breakdown of what you will be required to take to receive either your arch or l. arch degree. That is very helpful to see the differences.
If you go to the department websites, some offer glimpses of students’ work as well so you can see the type of projects you will be working on.</p>
<p>Secondly check out a couple of sites for Architecture: [The</a> American Institute of Architects](<a href=“http://www.aia.org%5DThe”>http://www.aia.org) and for Landscape Architecture: [American</a> Society of Landscape Architects - Home](<a href=“http://www.asla.org%5DAmerican”>http://www.asla.org). There is a ton of information within them that you can look over. (Those sites have links that will take you to lists of all of the schools that are accredited in this country)</p>
<p>My son felt the same way you seem to regarding Landscape Architecture and its inclusion of the natural sciences and the environment. There is some math, some engineering, but a great deal of ecology, plant science, etc. He loves the diversity of the field. It has been a good choice for him, but you are wise to look before you leap! :)</p>
