Department of Forestry and Environmental Resources
Our Master of Forestry (MF) is a professional degree for students pursuing careers in forest management with private companies, federal and state governments, and nonprofit organizations. The curriculum is accredited by the Society of American Foresters (SAF). Graduates are able to take the SAF-Certified Forester examination and most state registration examinations, including North Carolina, after completing this program. Many employers expect foresters to become certified or registered within a few years.
The Master of Forestry curriculum is ideal for students with undergraduate degrees in fields related to forest management, such as natural resources, hydrology, wildlife management, plant biology, and environmental sciences. Graduates with a Bachelor’s degree in forest management from an SAF-accredited program are not eligible to apply for this program.
