THE 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.
By far the greatest industry in Oregon, forestry is also important
nationally and is of major significance in other western states. There
is a strong, continuing demand for foresters in this region. Oregon
State foresters are well equipped for future responsible positions in
managing the basic forest values, water, wood, wildlife, recreation,
and forage. They are employed in establishing, maintaining, and
harvesting forest crops; in 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
occupation with expanding possibilities.

Entrance
All new students must complete Oregon State University
and School of Forestry requirements for entrance, including the
Scholastic Aptitude Test. All freshmen take placement tests in
English and mathematics. Transfer students who do not have
academic credit for college-level English and/or mathematics
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 requirements may be
reason for terminating a student.
will also take the appropriate placement tests. Deficiencies
shown by these tests should be corrected by the student before
enrolling in regular courses in the subjects concerned. Transfer
students should plan to enter Oregon State as soon as possible,
preferably not later than 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.
Transfer credits in general education courses accepted by the
University may be used to satisfy the School's general education requirements. Courses in forestry subjects, other than general forestry, from two-year or from four-year 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. Appropriate courses from accredited forestry schools will he accepted
without examination to fulfill the School's curricular requirements. The University does not grant credit for work clone ill
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, 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
is still dependent on the individual. The student is personally
responsible for fulfilling all curricular requirements in proper
sequence. He must prove himself on the campus and during
summer employment. Work performance and personal conduct
both are thoroughly appraised by the School. Forestry is highly
Advantages
The first and most obvious advantage to the student is the
prestige value of graduation from a highly respected School,
the second largest in America in point of staff and facilities.
The School is accredited by the Society of American Foresters
and intends to maintain this high standard.
There is also advantage to the student in attending a School
which places strong emphasis on the moral values in resource
management.
Corvallis is one of the largest forest research centers in
America. An aggressive research program is conducted by the
School's Forest Research Laboratory, chiefly financed by the
industry; by the Forest Science Department and cooperating
campus departments; and by the U. S. Forest Service Forestry
Sciences Laboratory. 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.
A great advantage to the student is the School's emphasis
on the development of men. The intention is to aid every graduate to become capable of solving forestry problems, capable of
competing successfully with other foresters, and capable of
serving society well in this vital area of resource management.
Curricula in Forestry
B.S., B.F., M.S., M.F., Ph.D.
The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) or Bachelor of Forestry
(B.F) degree is offered in three curricula: FOREST ENGINEERING, FOREST MANAGEMENT, and FOREST PRODUCTS. In all three,
general forestry concepts are strengthened by reference to spe-
cific western forestry practices, but the program is sufficiently
broad to serve the needs of students from other areas. A student
may combine engineering and management and earn degrees in
both departments. See next page for options in forest science
and forest recreation and the five-year program in engineering
in cooperation with the Civil Engineering Department.
Through the Graduate School the three departments offer
the Master of Science (M.S.) and Master of Forestry (M.F. )
degrees. The Forest Management and the Forest Products departments also grant the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree.

Courses in Forestry
FOREST ENGINEERING
Courses in forest engineering are designed to prepare men 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 tim-
ber 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.
