The integration and application of these courses to forestry is an educational concept supported by the forestry faculty. The five emphases within the forestry curriculum allow you to select course options that match your career goals. Many forestry students supplement their major emphasis with a minor. For example, the growing demand for forestry consultants in the Third World recently prompted the development of a minor in International Resource Management which includes significant forestry components. This minor supplements many majors campus-wide.
Emphasis is placed on the application of curriculum to field situations.
Each student is assigned a supervisor. These programs quite often help graduates gain permanent employment. The emphasis is on professional development while enjoying the fellowship of other students in a relaxed friendly atmosphere. Faculty advisors take an active part in assisting student members and officers in planning events and activities. Many organizations are officially recognized as student chapters of professional conservation associations and groups.
