Pre-Forestry Track
COLLEGE OF SCIENCE AND HEALTH
Pre-Professional Track
A pre-professional program is a statement of intent on
the student’s part, not an academic major.
A student who is interested in pursuing an
undergraduate degree in forestry will need to transfer
to another university. All students should consult the
respective catalog of the school to which they intend
to transfer.
UWL strongly recommends that students interested
in pre-forestry should pursue a biology major with a
concentration in environmental science during their
time at UWL.
