Career paths in this area

Architect and Landscape Architect SOC 17-1011
Architects design buildings and take legal responsibility for them. ⚠⚠⚠ The fact that governs everything else: Florida licenses architects BY STATUTE on a degree from an NAAB-accredited programme, and only five Florida public institutions hold one — FAMU, FAU, FIU, UF and USF. ⚠⚠ UCF is the state's second-largest producer of architecture bachelor's and is NOT on that list, because its degree is the middle third of a deliberate 2+2+2 with Valencia and UF. This page covers three roles in one family and the three different entry levels they take.
Urban and Regional Planner SOC 19-3051
⚠⚠ The planning degree is a master's: all five PAB-accredited programmes in Florida are master's, and they award about 104 a year against 13 planning bachelor's (FAU only). So the undergraduate major is a choice, and this page compares the routes. ⚠ Florida law requires every county and city to maintain a comprehensive plan and review it every seven years, which is why 74% of planners work for local government. Median pay $89,320 nationally, $80,720 in Florida.
⚠ Architecture — named by BLS as a feeder background, and the source of urban design and site-planning skills.
