The master’s degree in forestry is designed for students with an undergraduate degree in forestry or in one of the biological, physical or social sciences basic to forestry. Students with previous professional education in forestry may wish to undertake preliminary preparation for both research and teaching, or may wish to obtain greater depth in a specialized area.

Those without a bachelor’s degree in forestry may wish to further their education in forest science or to attain professional competence by completing course work in forestry.
