BSc in Forestry - Forest Resources Management in Knoxville United States | University of Tennessee, Knoxville

Forestry is a scientific discipline, artistic practice, and applied field focused on stewarding forest lands and their natural resources for human advantage.

The forest resources management specialization offers training in overseeing diverse wilderness resources. Beyond mandatory coursework, approximately 6 elective credits allow for either broad exploration or focused study in specific forestry domains.
