Overview

Key facts

A series of mini-courses provides students who enter without a forestry/natural resource background with overviews in several forestry subject areas.

Our non-thesis Master of Science in Forestry at North Carolina State University emphasizes the resources of North Carolina and the southern United States. Students may also address forestry problems throughout North America or leverage FER’s expertise in tropical pine species and many other international arenas. No minor is required.
