MSc in Forest Resources and Conservation in Gainesville United States | University of Florida

Graduate students design their programs under the guidance of a dedicated faculty advisor and committee, focusing on areas of study ranging broadly from the molecular to landscape levels and spanning disciplines such as ecology, resource management, social sciences, quantitative biology, and geospatial sciences including cadastral principles, unmanned aerial vehicle applications, LIDAR, and more.
The School offers graduate programs leading to the Master of Forest Resources and Conservation (professional, non-thesis), Master of Science (thesis and non-thesis), and Doctor of Philosophy degrees in forest resources and conservation.

Areas of study include agroforestry, biometrics, biotechnology, ecology, economic sustainability, ecotourism, environmental education, fire science, forest economics, forest genetics, forest nutrition, geographic information systems, geomatics, hydrology, international forestry, management operations, pathology, physiology, policy, reforestation, remote sensing, resource management, silviculture, soils, tropical forestry, and urban forestry.

Graduate students should have undergraduate training in biological, social, and physical sciences appropriate to their area of study. Students with inadequate backgrounds may still be admitted but will be required to take appropriate undergraduate courses to support their area of study. Graduate students are expected to develop teaching skills by assisting with courses during their programs.
