Undergraduates
FER Home : Undergraduates
Do you see a future for yourself as a scientist or naturalist?
Are you interested in working outdoors rather than behind a desk?
Would you like to make a difference in shaping our planet’s future — and are you willing to do the work required to understand today’s complex environmental challenges?
If so, the Department of Forestry and Environmental Resources (FER) can get you started on any number of exciting career paths related to forestry, wildlife, fisheries, ecosystems and environmental sciences.
FER is proud to be one of America’s foremost colleges for undergraduates seeking a degree in forestry and other natural resource-related fields.
Each year, undergraduates come to NC State because of our outstanding faculty and our ability to deliver a practical education that combines theory and classroom instruction with hands-on fieldwork and real world research and extension activities. And, each year, our graduates leave with a shared passion for the environment and an understanding of the interplay between science, people and business when it comes to the wise use of our planet’s resources. They go on to successful careers as forestry, fisheries or wildlife professionals; hydrologists, air or water quality specialists; environmental compliance officers; urban foresters; and much more.
