Transfer & International Students

Diversity Commitment
FER is committed to providing an outstanding education for all people, regardless of gender or race. We also welcome applicants from outside the State of North Carolina. In fact, about one quarter of our undergraduate students come to us from other states in search of a top notch forestry or natural resources education. We are particularly interested in inviting women and minority candidates to apply to our forestry programs. For more information on our diversity initiatives, please visit our Community for Diversity in Natural Resources.
