This specialization equips students with both theoretical understanding and practical expertise to meet growing demands for tree management in urban areas and the urban-wildland transition zones. As an urban and community forestry professional, you'll oversee tree care along city streets, in public parks, private wooded areas, and utility corridors. Potential employers range from federal, state, and local government agencies to private consulting firms and industry organizations. The Urban Forestry concentration within the Forestry bachelor of science program holds accreditation from the Society of American Foresters (SAF). In the U.S., program accreditation represents a voluntary, peer-evaluated system that validates the quality of higher education programs. Degree programs periodically undergo this thorough assessment to verify they meet professional standards. Accreditation serves as a quality assurance measure rather than a ranking mechanism, confirming that a program adheres to benchmarks set by the field.
