Exploring the Extraordinary

The Department of Forestry and Environmental Resources is an internationally-recognized leader in graduate education. Our graduate programs emphasize hands-on research, teaching and real-world field opportunities. We graduate professionals who contribute to society’s welfare through the wise use of our planet’s forests, fisheries, wildlife and other natural resources. Our graduate students advocate for sustainable practices in their fields and have the knowledge, skills and willingness required to succeed as responsible scientists, teachers and practitioners.

Graduate students in our programs receive a great deal of faculty, financial and technological support. In return, they play an integral role in the success of our college by:

  • Working alongside of our world-renowned faculty on groundbreaking research projects;
  • Managing and implementing our many extension programs;
