T
HE GENERAL AIM OF THE SCHOOL OF FORESTRY IS TO ASSURE ITS
students quality education, both liberal and professional. A specific school aim is the best possible development of students as individuals, citizens, and professional men and women.
Forests constitute Oregon's most valuable natural resource-the
forest industry is the backbone of Oregon's economy. Forestry is also
important nationally and is of major significance in other western
states. There is a continuing demand for foresters in this region.
Oregon State foresters are well equipped for future responsible positions in developing and managing the basic forest values, water, wood,
wildlife, recreation, and forage. They are employed in developing and
maintaining the forest environment and recreational values; in harvesting forest crops; in wood product development, processing, and
marketing; in teaching; and in research. Since the School stresses
administrative management, graduates who prepare themselves
adequately have excellent opportunities for advancement to administrative positions. The School arranges seasonal employment and
operates a graduate placement service.
Forestry is a highly satisfying profession with opportunities for
qualified men and women, including those from minority groups.
The School is accredited by the Society of American Foresters.

High School Preparation
In the forestry curricula listed in this catalog, it is assumed
that the high school preparation of each student has included
the following: English, four years; mathematics, four yearsincluding trigonometry and advanced algebra; chemistry, one
year; physics, one year; graphics or mechanical drawing, one
year.
Entrance
All new students must complete Oregon State University
and School of Forestry requirements for entrance. All fresh-
men take either the Schola,tic Aptitude Test (SAT) or the
American College Test (ACT). Transfer students who do not
have academic credit for college-level mathematics will also take
the appropriate placement test. Deficiencies shown by this test
should be corrected by the student before enrolling in regular
courses in mathematics. Transfer students should normally plan
to enter Oregon State at the end of the freshman year; otherwise, more than a total of four years may be required because
of difficulties in scheduling sequence and prerequisite courses.
Appropriate courses from accredited forestry schools will be
accepted without examination to fulfill the School's curricular
requirements. Courses in forestry subjects from institutions with
unaccredited 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 School's general education requirements. The University does not grant credit for work done in
vocational or technical training programs.
Graduation
Academic requirements: Minimum requirements for bache-
lor's degree include the University stipulations listed in the
General Catalog: 204 term hours of university-level courses in
an approved curriculum, of which 33 term hours must be in
Humanities and Social Sciences, including 15 term hours in
communications (9 hours written, 6 hours oral) and at least six
months of forestry employment satisfactory to the employer and
to the School.
Professional and personal requirements: The School's personnel program provides assistance and incentive, but success
Degree Programs
is dependent on the individual. The students are personally
responsible for fulfilling all their curricular requirements in
proper sequence. They must prove themselves on the campus
and during summer employment. Work performance and personal conduct both are thoroughly appraised by the School.
Forestry is highly regarded for its ethical and its academic
standards. Students are required to abide by the Code of Ethics
of the Society of American Foresters, to conduct themselves as
befits professional foresters, and to observe the Honor Code of
the School in its entirety. Departure from these ethical require-
ments may be reason for terminating a student.
Advantages
The School of Forestry is recognized nationally for its strong
undergraduate program, for its personal interest in students and
their development, and for graduates who perform effectively
and responsibly as professional foresters.
Corvallis is one of the largest forest research centers in
America. An aggressive research program is conducted by the
School through its Forest Research Laboratory and by the
campus-based Forest Sciences Laboratory of the U. S. Forest
Service. They offer splendid educational and employment opportunities for superior students.
The School is closely associated with industry and public
forestry agencies and makes good use of their facilities for student benefit. During each school year, many trips are made to
woods and plants to give classes a firsthand knowledge of engineering, management, and utilization processes.
No summer camp is required. A truck fleet takes students
daily to nearby School forests for field instruction. There are
more than 11,000 acres in the adjacent McDonald and Dunn
Forests and Peavy Arboretum. The School owns other properties in Benton and Columbia counties. All are available for
research and demonstration as well as instruction.
The School of Forestry seeks to help young people develop
their personal and intellectual talents to enable them to serve
society effectively as both citizens and resource managers.
University Honors Program
Students with exceptional scholastic abilities will be interested in the honors seminars of the School of Forestry. These
are coordinated with the University Honors Program (see
page 30). Information concerning the program may be obtained
from the Director.

management.
Courser in Forestry
FOREST ENGINEERING
Courses in forest engineering are de-
signed to prepare students to deal with
the woods problems peculiar to the forest
industry of the Pacific Northwest. Emphasis is placed on the preparation of logging plans and the transportation of timber from the woods to the mills.
Because of the close proximity of the
Peavy Arboretum, the McDonald Forest,
the Dunn Forest, and other timbergrowing tracts owned or administered by
the School of Forestry, a good many of
the laboratory periods for courses in
Forest Engineering are conducted under
field conditions.

FOREST MANAGEMENT
The forest management curriculum includes basic courses in science and social
science plus professional courses designed
to prepare students to manage the forest
resource on a multiple-use basis. In addi-
tion to the standard program, students
have the opportunity to specialize through
three options including forest business,
forest recreation, and forest science.
The forest business option provides additional background in business and managerial science. The recreation option
fills a need for those students particu-
larly interested in managing the forest
environment for use by recreationists.
The science option prepares the student
for' graduate work in areas of forest science such as pathology, entomology, ecology, physiology, and genetics.
Forestry in the Pacific Northwest is
emphasized, but the principles and concepts involved are universal.

FOREST PRODUCTS
Two options are offered to prepare
individuals for diversified careers in the
forest products and allied industries. Both
options provide a broad education in wood
science, a background in science, wood
processing principles, wise use of wood
and fiber products, and correlated general education including communications,
social sciences, and humanities.
The option in wood industries management is equally adequate in preparation
for production, sales, technical services,
I
and utilization employment in the broad
forest products field. The option in wood
science provides a base for advanced degree work in wood science and closely
related fields for students interested primarily in research, product development,
and academic careers. Employment op-
portunities are excellent in these broad
areas.
Through careful choice of electives,
the student, under staff guidance, has the
opportunity to select a wide range of
courses in many fields-wood chemistry,
pulp and paper, wood technology and
engineering, science, business, economics,
social sciences and humanities, architecture, forest management, and forest engiI:
neering.
Advanced degrees are offered in wood
science, forest products economics, wood
industries management and processing,
and allied subjects. A number of students
have earned second bachelor's degrees in
science or business and technology by
meeting requirements for concurrent degrees. The Master of Science and Master
of Business Administration degrees are
also open to qualified candidates. Concurrent bachelor's degrees and master's
degrees require approximately one additional full-time year of study and/or
research; doctor's degrees generally require three years following completion of
the bachelor's degree.
