Overview

The curriculum takes you beyond the classroom during hands-on field experiences in which students get to take up to six weeks of courses in forested and wilderness areas.

The Forest and Natural Resource Management program of the University of Minnesota is the only four-year program in Minnesota that is accredited by the Society of American Foresters. Earning an accredited degree makes students competitive candidates for jobs.
