Within the School of Forest Resources we have several exciting
academic programs, including three Bachelor of Science degrees in
Forestry, Wildlife Management and Spatial Information Systems, and a
two-year associate of science degree in Land Surveying Technology.
Additionally, we offer a Master of Science degree in Forest
Resources, with three areas of emphasis: Forest Science, Spatial
Science, and Wildlife Ecology and Management. We also have a number
of undergraduate scholarships and graduate assistantships for
qualified students to assist them toward their degree.
All of our undergraduate programs provide students with a solid
background in the sciences, mathematics, geographical information
systems (GIS) and computer technology in addition to an extremely
strong grounding in language arts, social sciences and the fine
arts. Our Forestry program is fully accredited by the Society of
American Foresters. This program provides students with the required
skills to pass the State Registered Forester test, which is required
to practice forestry in the State of Arkansas; it also provides
graduates the background required for achieving the Certified
Forester designation of the Society of American Foresters, a
prestigious national recognition.
Our Wildlife Management major is a professional program designed to
give students a broad scientific background for management and
perpetuation of wildlife resources. We offer a curriculum that
provides graduates with the necessary courses to apply for Associate
Wildlife Biologist status with the Wildlife Society; this
designation is the entry-level professional recognition for
beginning a career track in wildlife management.
Our Spatial Information Systems degree features two options:
Surveying and GIS/GPS. We provide a sound technical and professional
package that will prepare future surveyors for a meaningful career.
Our GIS/GPS concentration provides students with the technical
skills to move into public and private agency positions that require
high level spatial planning skills.
For students that wish to continue their education beyond the
Bachelor’s degree, our graduate program in Forest Resources provides
for indepth study of natural resource issues and problems. Our
thesis-based program links individual students with outstanding
faculty mentors and provides opportunities to pursue research topics
in a wide variety of areas related to forest science, spatial
science, and wildlife ecology and management.
