Situated in the forests of the Coastal Plain, the School is a short distance from the Mississippi Alluvial Plain and the Ouachita and Ozark Mountains.
Opportunities abound to work on private as well as public lands.
The School offers undergraduate degrees in forestry, wildlife management and spatial information systems, and a Master of Science degree in forest resources. A USDA Forest Service research unit is located in the forest resources building. Research responsibilities will require developing a research program related to their field of expertise. Much of this research will be collaborative with public agencies, conservation groups, industrial firms and private landowners. Consistent with the Land Grant mission, the faculty members will participate in university and public service extension activities.
