BS Forestry

Foresters play a critical role in managing our natural resources. As a forestry major, you take care of our forests while addressing some of the biggest challenges facing our forest landscapes, ecosystems and communities. Our forestry program is ranked as one of the best in the world. You can choose one of three areas to focus on: forest restoration and fire, forest management or forest operations. And when you graduate, you'll get a job, often with endless opportunities to work outside. You could go on to actively manage forested landscapes to ensure their health, clean water and other ecosystem services. Or you could harvest timber to make products the whole world uses and enjoys or become a professional pyromaniac by specializing in fire management. Our degree programs in forestry are accredited by the Society of American Foresters (SAF).
