Item Name
THAT
Re-title: from Forestry PhD to Forest and Conservation Sciences PhD
EXPLANATION
Much like the expansion in 2003 of the old name, “School of Forestry,” to the more holistic, “College of
Forestry and Conservation,” the change in the name of the PhD in Forestry to the PhD in Forest and
Conservation Sciences embraces more accurately the broad spectrum of disciplinary inquiry of our doctoral
students. The CFC students who complete doctoral degrees in areas such as natural resources policy, soil
science, protected are management, or aquatic restoration are more adequately described by a name such
as Forest and Conservation Sciences, as this title reflects inquiry in of a much wider range of scientific
activity.
