2004-05 Undergraduate Catalog
Forest Resources and Conservation
The FRC major provides students a solid understanding of ecology, while developing expertise in the management of these ecosystems to meet society’s demands for the vast array of economic, ecological and social products and services required. The curriculum is broad, with required course work in tree biology, forest ecology, wildlife ecology and management, soil science, forest health, resource inventory and resource economics.
According to their interests, students can select one of four specializations within the FRC major: forest resource management (FRM), urban forestry (UF), international/agroforestry (IAF) or forest science (FS).
Critical-tracking criteria must be completed by the end of the fourth semester at the university. Students who do not complete the appropriate number of courses each semester will have a hold placed on their records and will not be permitted to advance register until they meet with an academic adviser.
