The University of New Hampshire's Master of Science in Natural Resources with a Forestry specialization equips students for diverse careers in sustainable forest management, conservation, and policy formulation. The curriculum emphasizes key disciplines such as forest economics, biometrics, ecosystem ecology, and geospatial technologies (GIS and remote sensing). Students develop robust research and analytical skills to support data-driven decision making in professional settings. Our alumni pursue careers with government agencies, private sector firms, and environmental organizations.
Ideal candidates for the Forestry track typically hold bachelor's degrees in forestry or natural resources. Students from other academic backgrounds may require prerequisite coursework. The program focuses on critical areas including forest economics, biometric analysis, ecosystem health, ecological processes, and geospatial data applications (GIS and remote sensing technologies).
