The Department of Forestry and Natural Resources is dedicated to advancing the science and management of forests and natural resources, as well as discovering knowledge that can be applied to sustainable environmental protection and enhancement. Our program is practice-based built on the belief that the best learning comes from firsthand observation and experience. Enjoyment of life outdoors, a willingness to get your hands dirty and a commitment of the intellectual disciplines necessary for science are qualities of our students. Our faculty are accomplished teachers in the classroom and respected researchers in the laboratory and field and enthusiastic problem-solvers for industry and business. We invite you to join us in getting your boots wet, learning the ropes and working toward a sustainable world.
The Department offers undergraduate and graduate degree programs in Forest Resources, Wildlife and Fisheries Biology, and an undergraduate degree in Environmental and Natural Resources. We are devoted to Clemson University's land-grant mission to provide education, research and outreach. Faculty, staff and graduates have played vital roles in the conservation of South Carolina's -- and the world's -- natural resources as foresters, wildlife biologists, fisheries biologists, ecologists, and professional organization leaders. We welcome your interest and offer our assistance as you seek a course of study.
