Course Overview
A series of mini-courses provides students who enter without a forestry/natural resource background with overviews in several forestry subject areas. Our non-thesis Master of Forestry program emphasizes the resources of North Carolina and the southern United States. Students may also address forestry problems throughout North America or leverage FER's expertise in tropical pine species and many other international arenas. No minor is required. The Master of Forestry can allow students without a forestry undergraduate degree to prepare for careers in forest management that require certification (see this link for more information). Our Master of Science in Forestry program requires you to successfully complete a thesis within the field of forestry and to select a minor. It emphasizes the resources of North Carolina and the southern United States, but candidates may also address forestry problems throughout North America or choose an area of study that leverages FER's expertise in tropical pine species and other international arenas. In general, the Master of Science in Forestry (MS-Forestry) degree requires that a student develop and conduct a research project, then present their methodologies and results of the test or experiment as a thesis. The MS-Forestry degree is the preferred track for students who are interested in pursuing a Ph. D. or who anticipate conducting or reviewing research in their future work.
