Bachelor of Science in Forestry

The undergraduate program in forestry aims to prepare foresters for scientifically managing the nation’s forest lands and related ecosystems, both private and public.

In the forestry curriculum, students study how forest ecosystems can be managed for multiple benefits, including biodiversity, recreation, water, wilderness, wildlife, and wood and fiber— with an emphasis on the conservation and preservation of natural resources. Since 1935, the Society of American Foresters (SAF) has accredited the forestry major, and The Council for Higher Education Accreditation recognizes SAF as the specialized accrediting body for forestry education.
