Graduate students can pursue advance study in a number of specialty areas related to forestry, natural resources or fisheries and wildlife science.
FER also allows undergraduates to combine an FER program with one available in another college for a double major, or to obtain a minor in many FER areas.
Most of our academic programs are interdisciplinary and touch on aspects of all of our interest areas, including:
- Conservation and restoration,
- Environmental impact assessment,
- Environmental technology,
- Fisheries and wildlife sciences,
- Forest ecology and management,
- Forest genetics and biotechnology,
- Geographic information science,
- Natural resources economics and policy,
- Natural resources management and
- Watershed hydrology.
Additional courses often draw from the expertise of other colleges to give FER students a grounding in related business, economic and biological topics.
FER's teaching philosophy incorporates classroom instruction with practical work: all FER students work in the field and in laboratories on real-life projects as part of their academic experience.
FER also offers on-going programs and seminars for industry professionals, landowners and the general public through our Extension & Outreach initiatives.
