environmental landscape architect

What part does or can a landscape architect have?
What part does OR can a landscape architect have in the following:
a. Site analysis
b. Urban design
c. Environmental design
d. Site engineering
It all depends really. My university’s main programs here are architecture and engineering and I have heard of people going into random fields after graduation that aren’t particularly in the strict “architect” field. It all depends on where you get a job at and what specialization you had in college. You can do A, B, C, not so sure about D.
I’ll give you an example of what I mean:
I am a business major, but I have a certain amount of credits where I can pick what concentration I want to go into, such as finance, marketing, entrepreneurship, human resource management or international business. Whatever specialization I choose may or may not aid me in getting a job; I might specialize in marketing but get a job in something that involves international business. It’s all still business. As long as you have the foundations of something, you should be okay as far as going into whatever specialized field you want.
