Department of Forestry and Environmental Resources
Our Master of Science in Forestry program requires students to successfully complete a thesis within the field of forestry and to select a minor. We emphasize the resources of North Carolina and the southern United States, but candidates may also explore forestry problems throughout North America or choose an area of study that leverages our expertise in tropical pine species and other international arenas. This degree program 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.
