Education


Foreign

Candidates who received their education at foreign colleges and universities may be eligible to take the Landscape Architect Registration Examination. Such candidates must submit a credential evaluation report, which includes information about the candidate’s credential (diploma or degree) and its US equivalent. These reports are prepared by credential evaluation services after examining the candidate’s education documentation for accuracy and authenticity. Although these companies typically offer several levels of evaluation, the Landscape Architects Technical Committee (LATC) requires a "general" evaluation equating the degree to a comparable US degree in landscape architecture. The fees associated with obtaining a credential evaluation are the candidate’s responsibility.

Upon receipt of the required documentation, the LATC Exam Coordinator will conduct a review to determine if the candidate is eligible. The credential evaluation report is used to determine if the foreign educated candidate has received an education that meets the LATC’s established requirements. Candidates will receive written notification regarding determination of eligibility.
