Sustainable Forest Management (Ph.D., M.F., M.S.)

Description

The Sustainable Forest Management  graduate program emphasizes the conservation of forest-dominated landscapes to meet a defined set of ecological, economic and social criteria over long time frames. The program follows the sustainable principles outlined by the Montreal Process Criteria and Indicators. These principles have been adopted by the state of Oregon.

This program provides a strong grounding in the principles and techniques of active management of forests to improve forest health and condition while producing a full range of products and ecosystems services. It consists of a common core in the principles and criteria of sustainable forest management; statistics for design and interpretation of experiments; and specialization in one of six areas of concentration (MS/PhD) or one of three professional pathways (MF).

The MF degree requires a project, MS a thesis, and PhD a dissertation.

Available MF focus options

  • Forest Business for Private Landowners
  • Spatial Science and Analysis
  • Silviculture, Fire, and Forest Health
