These programs require students to work during the summer or take a year off from their studies . They can be arranged as positions become available for qualified students. We also have a number of work-study scholarships that provide a generous stipend for students, who then work on the College Forests learning professional management skills. Advising Every student is advised by a professor in the Department of Forestry. Undergraduate advisors are assigned by the department.
Students work with their advisors to tailor their program of study to their personal interests.
Graduate students must find an advisor who will sponsor them before they are admitted to our program. They may change after they arrive as their interests or personal contacts develop. Students have the opportunity to evaluate their advisors annually. The College of Forest Resources and the Department of Forestry ranks near the top of the NC State evaluations of student satisfaction every year. All undergraduate and graduate students can evaluate each course they take, and provide feedback in an exit interview from the program.
