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.
