What will I learn?

The Course-based Master’s degree (Master’s in Forest Management) emphasizes professional development in forest management, policy, geomatics, and ecology. The degree entails 4 terms of coursework (16 months). Three terms are on campus and one term, comprised of an internship and field school, is off-campus. Natural resources management is the stewardship of both public and private (mainly) forested landscapes, with the intention of reaching a balance between ecological sustainability, economic viability, and societal acceptance of prescribed land use. It employs a scientific approach, using a foundation of ecological health, best business practices, professional ethics, traditional values, transparency and public participation.
