Explore the Possibilities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The program is comprised of classroom-based science instruction and hands-on experiences that allow students to apply theory to practice through field trips, internship opportunities, and study abroad options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Graduates are ready for careers in private industry, local, state, and federal government, and are prepared for graduate or professional school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Foresters and forest ecologists plan, maintain, and preserve forests and forest resources. The program builds on a strong foundation in science, with an emphasis on forest ecosystems and intensive practical experience in forest measurements and sampling, and a minor in geospatial analysis (GIS) is built into the major. This curriculum prepares you to work as a professional forest ecologist, performing tasks ranging from increasing timber production to restoring wildlife habitat. <\/p>\n\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n
