Forestry and Natural Resources
Thanks for your interest in the forestry and wildlife and fisheries programs at Clemson University. The Department of Forestry and Natural Resources was formed in 2003 with the merger of the Department of Forest Resources and the Department of Aquaculture, Fisheries and Wildlife. Faculty from the Clemson Institute of Environmental Toxicology also joined the new department. The Department now offers B.S., M.S., M.F.R., and Ph.D. degree programs in Forest Resources, B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. programs in Wildlife and Fisheries Biology, and heavily supports the B.S. degree in Environmental and Natural Resources.
As a Land-Grant Institution, Clemson University has played a major role in the conservation of South Carolina's natural resources by educating foresters, wildlife biologists, fisheries biologists and others through teaching, research and outreach programs. In the Department of Forestry and Natural Resources, we are dedicated to our land grant mission through education, research and outreach. We invite you to explore the opportunities that we offer.
