It appears that the CA requirement of six years of internship allows for two of those years to be knocked of by the program that you are looking at. A bachelors degree from a non accredited landscape architecture program can get you as much as three years knocked off. A Bachelors degree in an accredited program knocks off four years. Everyone needs to intern for at least two years and at least one year of education, but must have a total of six years in combination.

This is the part that explains it:

Requirements: To qualify for the written examination, applicants must
have six years of training and educational experience in actual practice of landscape architecture. A degree from a school of landscape architecture
approved by the board is deemed equivalent to four years of training and
educational experience. [A degree in landscape architecture from a nonapproved
school is deemed equivalent to three years training and
educational experience. An extension certificate in landscape
architecture from an approved school is equivalent to two years training
and educational experience. An associate degree in landscape
architecture from a city/community college (with two-year curriculum) is
deemed equivalent to one year of training and educational experience.
All candidates must have had one year education credit and two years
experience credit to take the exam. Candidates must also pass the
California supplemental exam.]
