About
History
Founded in 1911 to "help in the solution of forestry problems" the New York State College of Forestry was founded in partnership with Syracuse University. That first year, 52 students enrolled, and there were two faculty members along with Dean Hugh P. Baker. Classes met in two classrooms in the basement of Lyman Hall of Natural Sciences on the SU campus.
Research
Research at State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry is remarkably diverse, current and challenging, with contributions being made in fields like aquatic ecosystems, bioenergy, biotechnology, biodiversity, ecology, genetic engineering, nanotechnology, remote sensing, wildlife disease prevention and many others.
ESF is a leader in integrating the energy and excitement of research with the formal requirements of degree and certificate programs. A high percentage of undergraduates and virtually all graduate students participate in research activity as part of their educational experience.Career
ESF graduates get jobs all over the world, in all kinds of locations and all kinds of environments. Some work in their hometowns. Others work in exotic locales in Africa, Europe or Asia. Some work in a forested wilderness area.
Others work in hightech manufacturing environments or state-of-the-art laboratory facilities. Many work in the nation’s urban centers; others in suburban and rural towns. ESF graduates have a wealth of opportunities to pursue because the College emphasizes problemsolving and communications skills as much as it focuses on science and professional training.SUNY - College of Environmental Science and Forestry Scholarships

That passion and...
SUNY ESF Review
Anonymous rated 5 out of 5 stars
Good atmosphere and interesting classes. I loved that the school was small, and I was surrounded by like-minded people. There were some ethical dilemmas surrounded sustainability and ethical wildlife treatment, but this was not in every class.
Studying at various levels
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
SUNY ESF provided me with directed training in the field of environmental biology - from molecules to ecosystems. The small classes and ability to participate in classes with masters and PhD students broadened my scope of understanding immensely.
