Department of Forestry

If you are interested in a career that combines work in the out-of-doors with science, forestry may be just what you are looking for. To learn more about forestry as a profession, visit the Society of American Foresters Web site.

Foresters are applied ecologists who do hands-on management of forest ecosystems. Their work is done within an ethical framework of sustainable use of forests and of stewardship.

Undergraduate and graduate research programs leading to the B.S.F., M.S. or Ph.D. in Forestry are designed to prepare you for professional careers with state and federal agencies, local governments, forest industry, environmental organizations, academic institutions and consulting firms.
