Our program offers a professional certificate and a master's degree is an academic degree. From a licensing perspective they are equal in terms of years of educational credit to sit for the licensing exam, if you also have a bachelor's degree in any subject. The UCLA Extension program is seen as more technical than theoretical, although it includes both frameworks and our program is taught by working professionals in the industry such as landscape architects and architects, rather than tenured faculty.
