The curriculum includes a traditional forestry foundation with courses in forest biology, economics, management and operations; students also earn a business minor that enhances their skills in accounting, finance, business law and organizational behavior. Graduates often become managers in growing timber companies or land managers of commercially-productive public or private lands.
