and promote the scientific community at large. Research projects include studies by individual
faculty, as well as interdisciplinary programs, which combine the interests of College faculty
with those from other academic units of the University of Washington.
Graduate Program Areas
Master of Science (MS) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD ) Degree Options
Forest Economics emphasizes economic theory, together with applications to
management and use of forest resources, public and private resource policy, the forest
products industry, environmental regulation, resource planning and international resource
development and trade.
Forest Ecosystem Analysis covers a broad spectrum of topics in forest biology and
environmental science. Diverse fields of study include: aquatic-terrestrial interactions,
conservation biology, ecological modeling, ecological restoration, ecophysiology, ecosystem
studies, entomology, fire ecology, forest community ecology, genetics, global climate change,
landscape ecology, paleoecology, and pathology.
Forest Engineering and Hydrology focuses on the analysis and design of forest
management activities at the watershed scale to produce the multiple forest resources of
timber, wildlife, fish, recreation, and water.
Social Sciences studies the social aspects of natural resources. Study areas include
community forestry and rural development, land use planning, natural and environmental
resources policy and law, public administration and decision making, social and economic
impact assessment, and recreation management and leisure studies.
Urban Horticulture is concerned with the functional uses and management of plants
in urban environments for the benefit of people who live there. Study areas include
environmental horticulture, urban forestry, public horticulture, horticulture education and
interpretation, horticultural taxonomy, landscape plant selection, plant ecology, and plant
physiology and molecular biology.
Wildlife Science draws from the natural, quantitative, and social sciences to focus on
the basic ecology of vertebrate species and a wide range of issues dealing with management
and conservation of species and ecosystems, including problems in forest management,
wildlife toxicology, range management, and marine mammalogy.
Forest Products Marketing provides the opportunity to view the forest products
industry from a marketing orientation that focuses on the customer. Dramatic changes in
resource quality and timber availability have complicated the competitive environment facing
the industry, which historically has relied on a production-oriented management philosophy
emphasizing the cost-efficient production of commodities.
Silviculture is designed for working professionals and offers opportunities for post-
Forest Soils covers many aspects of soil science and environmental studies such as
graduate study in current topics and concepts in silviculture, forest protection, and related
fields.
forest resources, restoration, and waste applications. Fields of study include management of
forest soils, biosolids applications, soil chemistry, pedology, soil microbiology or biogeochemical cycling.
Paper Science and Engineering covers areas of interest that span raw materials,
pulping, bleaching, papermaking and recycling. Specializations are polymer and fiber science,
pulp and paper engineering, and wood chemistry.
Quantitative Resources Management focuses on the application of quantitative
techniques to the management of forest lands, such as probability theory, statistical methods,
information systems, operations research/management science, and forest management/
economics.
Silviculture and Forest Protection involves knowledge of the biological and
physical factors influencing the production and maintenance of forests as well as their
protection from insects, diseases, fire, competing vegetation, and other natural and human
factors. Applied ecology and biology topics include regeneration practices, stand development, intermediate stand management prescriptions and practices, and management of
disturbance effects.
Professional Master of Forest Resources (MFR) Degree Options
Urban Horticulture is designed for mid-career and developing professionals to
provide training for careers related to the management of vegetation in urban areas.
