Program Analysis
Graduates earn $44,459/yr, roughly in line with the $51,771 national median for Landscape Architecture. The value proposition here depends on cost, not earnings.
The earnings-to-cost ratio of 7.3x signals a solid financial return — projected decade earnings comfortably exceed the tuition investment.
Some AI exposure exists in Landscape Architecture's typical career paths, with 44% of job tasks potentially affected. The pessimistic scenario still projects solid returns, with a 5% gap from the optimistic case.
Median debt of $27,000 represents roughly 7 months of the $44,459 starting salary — a manageable burden by most borrower standards.
Ranked #17 of 17 Landscape Architecture programs, Rutgers University-New Brunswick falls below the median. Stronger options exist, though cost and location may compensate.
