Forest Resources

Undergraduate Program

Bachelors in Forest Resources:

The Forest Resource Management curriculum combines
a broad education in the arts and sciences with
applied forest sciences. This combination provides
the necessary foundation for the scientific management
of forest resources, products, and services.
Foresters are qualified for a broad spectrum of
employment opportunities in the public and
private sectors. They may be engaged as managers,
administrators, or owners of forest lands or
forest-based businesses; as technical specialists in
the production of timber, useable water, wildlife,
and aesthetic values, and in the recreational use of
the forest; or as professionals in other areas where
the conservation of natural resources is a concern.
Foresters earning advanced degrees find employment
in academic work and in research conducted
by public and private agencies.
The curriculum, accredited by the Society of
American Foresters, provides a strong program
in the basic knowledge and skills required of a
professional forester. Forest Resource Management
majors will select a minor. (See page 58.) The curriculum
also provides the necessary prerequisites
for graduate study.
For students interested in conservation biology,
water, and natural resources, the Department of
Forestry and Natural Resources also administers
the Conservation Biology and Natural Resources
Management Concentrations within the Environmental
and Natural Resources degree program.
