Students exploring a Master of Science in Forestry can select from two distinct pathways. Admission to the Research Intensive MS program requires prior commitment from a faculty advisor. Prospective applicants for the Research Intensive MS should reach out directly to potential faculty advisors. The Forestry MS program prepares graduates for diverse careers in academia, government agencies, NGOs, or private industry. Two degree options exist: research-focused (Plan A) or professionally-oriented (Plan B), with Plan B offering both on-campus and hybrid-online formats. The hybrid-online track serves professionals holding non-forestry bachelor's degrees who seek career transition into forestry. Designed for working professionals, this flexible program delivers most coursework online to balance educational goals with personal and professional responsibilities.
