Graduate and Research Programs
Graduate programs in forest resources are designed to accommodate a wide range of education and career objectives, from
the development of advanced professional skills and knowledge to the exploration of sciences basic to the discipline.
The College’s research program not only contributes to the basic understanding of forest systems and their products and
resources, it also supports the education goals of students and the scientific curiosity of the faculty.
Graduate Program Areas
Master of Science (MS) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD ) Degree Options
Forest Economics involves the economic analysis of forest resource use and
management, the forest products industry, and international trade in forest products.
Silviculture and Forest Protection includes regeneration practices, stand
development, intermediate stand management practices, and management of disturbance
effects such as wildfire, insects, and pathogens.
Social Sciences comprises leisure and recreation, community forestry and rural
Forest Ecosystem Analysis covers a wide range of topics in forest biology, including
development, land use issues, public agency decision making, and environmental regulation.
community and landscape ecology, soils and mineral cycling, dendrochronology, tree
physiology, and genetics.
Urban Horticulture encompasses a range of disciplines with a focus on the purposes
Forest Engineering and Hydrology focuses on the analysis and design at the
watershed scale of forest management activities related to timber production, wildlife, fish,
recreation, and water and involves the understanding of hydrologic processes through field
and modeling analysis. The effects of human activities through forest land management are
considered.
Wildlife Science students specialize in wildlife ecology, studying the interrelationships
of wild animals and their environments, or in wildlife conservation, applying ecological, social,
political, and economic principles.
and environments of urban plants. Students specialize in plant ecophysiology, public horticulture, or selection and management of landscape plants.
Forest Products and Marketing studies the production, marketing, and technical
characteristics of wood products. Emphasis areas include wood science, forest products
marketing, and operations research.
Professional Master of Forest Resources (MFR) Degree Options
Pulp and Paper Science covers areas ranging from process engineering studies to
pulping chemistry. Specializations are pulp and paper engineering, wood chemistry, and fiber
science.
Silviculture is designed for working professionals and offers opportunities for
Quantitative Resources Management focuses on the application of quantitative
Urban Horticulture is a program option for recent graduates and mid-career
postgraduate study in current topics and concepts of silviculture and forest protection.
techniques to the management of forest lands. Students specialize in forest biometrics or
management science/operations research.
professionals to provide specialized training for careers related to the management of
vegetation in urban areas.
