The role of a landscape designer or landscape architect is diverse. It utilizes both creative artistry and scientific knowledge, and professionals will most likely find themselves dividing their time between working on designs in an office and implementing designs on site. A certificate in landscape design will prepare students for jobs designing outdoor spaces for residences and commercial buildings. Graduates of certificate programs may also be interested in managing plant nurseries or becoming construction managers. Students who earn a bachelor's degree in landscape architecture will generally work on larger projects, collaborating with architects and engineers to design public spaces.
