Landscape architects have a myriad of employment options. More than half of all landscape architecture graduates are employed in private landscape architecture, architecture or engineering firms. Federal employment at governmental agencies, such as the National Park Services, U.S. Forest Service, Army Corps of Engineers, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, Federal Housing Administration, Natural Resources Conservation Services, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Army and the Veterans Administration, represents another potential career path. Other landscape architecture graduates work for the State or municipalities in agencies such as State Forestry Division, State Highway Departments, State Land Office, municipal planning departments, and municipal park and recreation departments. Presently, there are not enough landscape architecture graduates to meet the demand.
Some graduates prefer self-employment as an option following licensure.
