EH Career Opportunities

A strong and increasing demand for individuals skilled in horticulture exists because of increasing standards for environmental quality, popularity of outdoor recreation, and the surging interest in gardening.

Our graduates work in private industry, the public sector, or for institutions like City College. Others become self-employed or creatively combine their horticultural skills with current occupations to increase income and job satisfaction. Environmental Horticulture students go directly into careers and/or prepare for advanced degree programs such as Urban Forestry, Landscape Architecture and Horticultural Therapy.
