Landscape architecture major, soil science minor

Hello, I am currently deciding what major and minor to go for. The cost of school isn't an issue for me I luckily have scholarships. I have found a passion for permaculture after working on a homestead in Hawaii. I also got to spend some time at Synergia Ranch in New Mexico. I decided to drift from the hands-on route to pursue an education. I am an artist at heart which is why I feel the landscape architecture degree is best suited for me, and I hope to couple it with Soil Science or something adjacent. In the summer or in my spare time I also plan on taking the Permaculture design course from other colleges etc. I've read many pessimistic mindsets of landscape architects getting stuck in unsatisfying degrees, especially on Reddit. I am wondering if any of you fine people have any insight or recommendations. I am confident in my ability to stay motivated and reach my goal of being a Landscape Architect who is a Permaculturist at heart. I hope to merge the two ideologies and design regenerative ecologically robust landscapes. I will not accept a miserable career and I know that I will find the niche that is meant for me. I am excited to create a beautiful bright future. Thank you for this wonderful site!

Welcome to permies.  I'm so glad you've found goals and a path that is right for you.  And I think its a worthy goal.

There are folks who are lucky enough to go to a college that offers permaculture subjects or classes.

If your school does not offer any of these then my suggestion would ne be go for the soil science.

Are there Environmental Science classes?  That would be a great major or minor.

An agriculture major would help if you want to manage farms that grow mono-culture crops in my opinion.

Take any classes on soil or poly-culture that is offered.

I'm biased towards an Alma Mater but will just paste this testimonial link below.  Many here at Permies already know about Oregon State University's online Permaculture Design Course and could weigh in on the pros and cons of that course.  Nevertheless, OSU likely will have Landscape- and Permaculture-based curricula that may help you in your goals.  Good luck!
