Information for Transfer
Students
Professional Programs in Forestry, Wildlife Management
and Spatial Information Systems
The unique programs of the School of
Forest Resources (SFR) provide outstanding opportunities for
transfer students to continue their education and pursue a
professional degree. The SFR is the only school of forestry in
Arkansas. The bachelor's program in Forestry is fully accredited
by the Society of American Foresters. The Wildlife Management
bachelor's degree is the only one offered in the State with a
wildlife management / habitat management orientation. The new
Spatial Information Systems degree offers two options: GIS / GPS
/ Remote Sensing and Land Surveying. The School offers the only
four-year bachelor's surveying program in the State. No minor is
required in these programs.
Because the first two years of each
program emphasizes a general education in the sciences and
humanities, it is relatively easy to transfer into these
programs from Community College programs without loss of credits
or an extended program at UA - Monticello. For example,
prospective transfer students who concentrate their lower
division work in the Arkansas Core Curriculum should have no
problems transferring after two years if they also choose their
electives carefully to match the supportive requirements of the
program into which they desire to transfe
r.
