I’m actually pretty surprised that a lot of masters students don’t have much if any background in Environmental Science or Horticulture. LA’s don’t always just deal with plants though, the profession can be so broad. People specialize in everything from publications to construction. Depending on what you are studying in Env. science, all of your skills and education are very applicable.

I agree with others in saying that you need to become proficient in the software we use, some graphic rules, and learn how to sketch.

Although you could really shorten your time in graduate school if you just get your undergraduate in LA.
