The primary objective of the Department of Forest Science is to educate students in the scientific management of forest resources for professional employment and graduate studies. Forest Management and Urban Forestry options are available. This major combines the disciplines of ecology and range management to enhance the sustainable production, conservation and function of rangelands. The Ranch Management Option prepares students for careers in ranch management and agribusiness, while the Rangeland Resources Option is directed toward careers in natural resources conservation and management. Recreation, Park and Tourism Sciences Curriculum within this major provides students with an education in recreation, park and tourism sciences, with an emphasis on problem-solving skills, development of an international perspective, and the application of scientific principles to managerial problems.
Students also choose an approved emphasis.
Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences Students in this department are interested in making contributions to solving problems associated with the extinction of species, wildlife recreational uses, food production from aquaculture, environmental education, and urban wildlife and fisheries. Buses can be parked along Throckmorton Street, which is the street between the President's Home and Koldus. Use their map to illustrate. We suggest that you try to park your car in one of the campus garages. The Koldus garage is located directly across from the MSC with an entrance near Kyle Field.
