I doubt they would allow you to do both unless they have a program geared specifically for a combination degree. Pick one or the other-grad school will be difficult enough with just one.

Definitely depends on the school i would think. At UW i have seen applicants for both programs and been accepted to both. I would agree with tinydancer though, stick with one - i was never a proponent of double dipping.

Oh definitely, I'm going to do just one. I just haven't fully decided on which one yet. I'm interested in both subjects as well as the location and program of the school for both disciplines.

It just depends on which one I get into and what I decide on. Just wondering if it will hurt my chances if they see I've applied to both of the school's program.

It all depends on the school and their filing, but from my experience, reviewing applications etc. we never knew if a student is applying to some other programs etc. We review it for arch. and make out decisions on that only, but not on if he/she applied to a different program. Some schools I know work closely together, like Ohio State, but they still have different review committees so I doubt there is a chance they will know. When I was in undergrad we did make fun of Landscape students because some of them after being reject to Arch. they did get into Larch..

Are you just worried that you will not get into one of those and you are using the other one as a backup? That is really strange, because you either know if you want to do Architecture or Landscape Architecture! If you think you like one more than the other then I would only apply to that one and put all your effort into that. But like I said you can apply to both!

if you're interested in both, why not go somewhere that specifically offers a joint degree program?

I'm just worried that it might show that I lack commitment to either field which might hurt my chances. Since I hear that when applying to grad school they look for commited students when deciding wether to admit or not. Also afraid it might look indecisive which again might affect my acceptance. Don't get me wrong, I know I'll be totally commited once I've been accepted. I've been working odd jobs since I graduated and got the wandering out of my system. I'm over that and am now ready for a career.

I would apply to a joint degree if they offered it in Canada (where I am). I'm not really looking to spend $30,000 on tuition though, when I can spend $7000 instead.

To be honest if I won the lottery I would pick architecture over land arch since it seems more all encompassing. I'm kind of a voracious learner. curious about everything. Can't get enough. Also, as cliche as it may sound, I was a lego builder from way back (wanted to build a city out of it in the kitchen when i was a kid). But I hear that supply and demand for architecture isn't in favor of architects and that more opportunities exist in land arch since there's not too many around. And I believe I'll be happy if I do become a land architect as well (interest in nature, conservation and restoration of land) I wanted to apply to both and see where I am then make the decision.

I wouldn't worry about it passerby1ce. Chances are, the two departments aren't aware of your dual-application.

I also wouldn't be concerned about which to choose at this time. Architecture and Landscape architecture share a hell of a lot in common, especially if you want them to. Unless you're absolutely certain you want to be a registered licensed architect (or a registered licensed landscape-architect), I think you'll find that any of the design degrees will provide a good foundation for pursuing exactly what it is that you're interested in.

nah its no biggie. I know a few ppl who applied to landscape as a backup plan or as a hedge.

"I know a few ppl who applied to landscape as a hedge."

HAHAHAHA

Whats next, applying to be a topiary?
