Oregon State University
The College of Forestry provides a liberal
and professional education for students
interested in forests and the goods and
services coming from them. Forests are
Oregon's most valuable natural resource
and provide wood and paper products,
wildlife habitat, recreational opportunities,
water, and forage.
The many-faceted programs of the
college combine forest biology, social
sciences, management sciences, and modern technology in computers, engineering,
and biology to equip graduates for jobs in
forestry. Graduates are employed throughout the world in harvesting forest crops;
developing, processing, and marketing
wood products; establishing, regenerating,
and managing forests; providing opportunities for recreational use of forests; teaching;
extension; and research. Forestry is a
demanding and highly technical profession with a wide range of opportunities for
qualified men and women.
Oregon State University's College of
Forestry is accredited by the Society of
American Foresters.
Departments and Degrees
Through four of its departments the
college offers the Bachelor of Science
(B.S.) degree in forest engineering, forest
management, forest products, and resource recreation management. The Department of Forest Science offers graduate
programs only. Graduate programs in the
other four departments are indicated in
their departmental statements.
It is possible to complete requirements
for more than one option within a
department or to earn degrees in two
departments if programs are planned
carefully.
High School Preparation
Students planning a major within the
College of Forestry should include the
following subjects in their high school
program: English, four years; mathematics,
four years including trigonometry and
advanced algebra; chemistry, one year;
physics, one year; graphics or mechanical
drawing, one semester.
Entrance
All new students must satisfy Oregon State
University requirements for entrance.
Transfer students who do not have
academic credit for college-level mathematics will also take the appropriate placement test if mathematics is required in the
departmental major. Deficiencies shown
by this test must be removed before
enrolling in the prescribed courses in
mathematics. Transfer students should
realize that problems of scheduling sequence and prerequisite courses may
require them to spend additional time to
complete their programs.
Appropriate courses from accredited
schools are accepted without examination
to fulfill the school's curricular requirements. Courses in forestry subjects from
institutions with nonaccredited forestry
programs may be accepted only after the
student demonstrates an adequate grasp of
the subject matter concerned by examination or other adequate evidence. Transfer
credits in general education courses
accepted by the University may be used to
satisfy the college's general education
requirements. The college does not grant
credit for work done in vocational or
technical training programs.
Graduation
Academic Requirements
204 credits of university-level courses,
including:
Written communication, 9 credits
Oral communication, 6 credits
Arts and humanities, 12 credits
Social science, 12 credits
Physical and biological sciences, 24 credits
Completion of an approved departmental
curriculum
At registration, each new student will
designate the department in which he or
she wishes to major. To transfer to another
department later, a student should consult
his or her faculty adviser. A change in
major may involve additional time to
complete curricular requirements.
Professional and Personal Requirements
The College of Forestry is recognized
nationally for its strong educational
program, for its personal interest in
students and their development, and for
graduates who perform effectively and
responsibly as professionals.
The college provides assistance and
incentive, but success depends upon the
individual. Students are personally responsible for fulfilling all curricular requirements in proper sequence. Work performance and personal conduct are thoroughly
appraised by the college. Since forestry is
highly regarded for its ethical and its
academic standards, students are responsible for observing the honor code of the
college in its entirety. Departure from
these ethical requirements may be reason
for terminating a student.
No summer camp is required. Those
majoring in forest management, forest
engineering, or forest products must
complete six months of satisfactory employ-
ment in the area related to their major.
Those majoring in resource recreation
management must satisfactorily complete
a supervised internship.
Educational Facilities
Corvallis is one of the largest forestry
research centers in America. Peavy Hall,
the OSU forestry building, contains 84,000
square feet of floor space for modern
classroom, laboratory, and study facilities.
An aggressive research program is conducted by the college through its Forest
Research Laboratory and by the campusbased Forest Sciences Laboratory of the
U.S. Forest Service. These facilities offer
splendid educational and employment
opportunities for superior students.
The college makes extensive use of
various public and private forestry programs and facilities for student benefit.
Numerous field trips to forest and woodprocessing plant operations, recreation
facilities, and research areas enable
students to observe contemporary problems and practices. Classes use the nearby
college forests for daily field instruction.
In addition to these 11,000 acres in the
McDonald and Dunn forests, the college
manages other forests in Benton and
Columbia counties for education and
research.
University Honors Program
Students with exceptional scholastic abilities will be interested in the honors
projects of the Forestry Scholars Program.
Information concerning the program may
be obtained from faculty advisers. See
University Honors Program in this catalog.
WICHE Program
Oregon State University's College of
Forestry receives students supported
through the WICHE Professional Student
Exchange Program. This interstate program allows students from 13 cooperating
western states to obtain professional
training not available in their home states.
For further information regarding the
WICHE Program, write to the state
certifying officer or to the WICHE
Professional Student Exchange Program,

Scholarships
The College of Forestry administers a
variety of scholarships to students who
show promise of professional potential.
These are listed under the General Information section of this catalog. Several are
reserved for incoming high school or transfer students.
FOREST ENGINEERING
Accredited by Society of American Foresters
The forest engineering curriculum prepares students to perform a wide range of
engineering tasks associated with the
management of forest lands. These include
designing and constructing roads, bridges,
and other structures; developing logging
plans; and adapting logging systems which
will help achieve quality resource management.
Students are trained to analyze and
evaluate engineering systems in order to
integrate the mechanical and economic
requirements of forest operations with the
biological requirements of the forest and
the need to protect soil and water
resources. The curriculum includes courses
in engineering, business, forest
management, watershed management, and

operations research. A five-year program is
Senior Year-50 credits
offered in cooperation with the Department of Civil Engineering. A graduate of
this program receives a bachelor's degree
in both forest engineering and civil
engineering. Students must qualify for the
College of Engineering's professional
engineering program in order to be eligible
for the dual degree. See page 178. Students
from both curricula are eligible to take the
Land-Surveyor-in-Training and Fundamentals of Engineering examinations.
Forest engineering graduates are employed by private forestry firms and public
forestry agencies. Some establish their own
consulting business after a few years of
field experience.
Through the Graduate School, the
department offers the Master of Science
(M.S.) and the Master of Forestry (M.F.)
degrees in the fields of logging engineering
and forest hydrology. The department also
offers a Ph.D. program in forest hydrology
and a Ph.D. program in silviculture/

FOREST PRODUCTS
The Department of Forest Products
stresses the efficient utilization of materials derived from forest trees. The course of
study combines a background in science
and general education, including communications, social sciences, and humanities,
with knowledge of technologies and
business practices. Three options are
offered to prepare individuals for diversified careers in the forest products and
allied industries and in public agencies.
They permit students to select areas of
study according to their particular interests and abilities.
The option in wood industry management emphasizes production, sales, and
technical services. The option in wood
science emphasizes science and technology
in wood and bark utilization and provides
a base for advanced degree work for
students interested in research, product
development, and academic careers. The
option in pulp and paper technology
emphasizes wood technology as well as
chemical and general engineering to
prepare students for employment requirements in the pulp and paper industry.
A number of students have earned
concurrent bachelor's degrees in science or
in business by taking additional time to
complete requirements.
The department offers advance studies
through the Graduate School leading to
the Master of Science, Master of Forestry,
and Doctor of Philosophy degrees with
majors in wood science for the doctorate
and in both wood science and wood
technology at the master's level.
WOOD INDUSTRY
MANAGEMENT OPTION
Approximately 27 elective credits are
required in areas related to forest products,
such as business, economics, production
management, and biological, physical,
chemical, and engineering fields. Additional electives are to include sufficient
courses in arts and humanities, social
sciences, and communication to meet
University general education requirements.

FOREST SCIENCE
The Department of-Forest Science, through
the Graduate School, offers programs
leading to the Master of Science (M.S.),
Master of Forestry (M.F.) in silviculture,
and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degrees.
The M.S. and Ph.D. programs, structured
specifically for those interested in careers
in research, teaching, and specialized
areas of forestry practice, are available in
four areas of specialization: forest ecology,
forest genetics, forest physiology, and
silviculture. The Master of Forestry in
silviculture program is administered jointly
with the Department of Forest Management. Students prepare for careers as
professional silviculturists capable of
analyzing opportunities in the context of
the tree-growing objectives of a landowner,
with sensitivity to other forest resource
values-physical, biological, economic,
and environmental. A doctoral program,
administered cooperatively with the Department of Forest Engineering, is offered
in silviculture/harvesting systems. This
program is concerned with both biological
and engineering aspects of forest harvesting.
Research in the Department of Forest
Science focuses on fundamental and
applied research to support forest practices
in areas of reforestation, silviculture of
young stands and plantations, and land
capability classification. All biological
levels of organization within natural and
managed forest communities and individual trees are addressed by current departmental research projects. Graduate students
are encouraged to participate actively in
the department's large, diverse program.

RESOURCE RECREATION
MANAGEMENT
The Department of Resource Recreation
Management emphasizes the management
of forest, range, and coastal resources for
recreation use. Included are the study of
natural resources, recreational users of
these resources, and the planning and
management necessary for providing
quality recreational opportunities. Basic
courses in arts and humanities, and social,
physical, and natural sciences are used to
augment the professional curriculum.
Students are required to complete a minor
program, which allows them to develop
their intellectual and vocational interests.
These minors prepare students for careers
in the various areas of outdoor recreation
planning and management with private
and public organizations.
Students majoring in other programs at
OSU may elect a minor in recreation
resource management. This program
provides basic knowledge about recreation
resource planning and management.
Graduates find employment with private and governmental organizations.
Employment opportunities are developing
in the private sector with resorts, public
utilities, guide and outfitter services, and
concessionaires. Opportunities also exist
with federal, state, and local governments.
Through the Graduate School, the
department offers a graduate minor and
participates in the Mastery of Arts in
Interdisciplinary Studies (M.A.I.S.) degree program. Master of Science and Ph.D.
degree options with emphases in forest
recreation and forest community and
resource development are offered through
the Department of Forest Management.
