When earning your applied ecology and environmental sciences degree, choose a focus area in biotechnology, communicating natural resources, or plant ecology and wetlands to focus on your interests. Join The FERM, Michigan Tech's program for professional development that puts student teams in charge of conservation management for communities. Participate in a 14-week field semester in our 4,609 acres of research forest (one of the largest contiguous forested areas in the eastern United States—right outside our back door). Work alongside faculty through the $1,100 Earn and Learn Assistantship, offered to all students accepted into the College of Forest Resources and Environmental Science (CFRES). Plus, get to know your CFRES family on a first-name basis through regularly scheduled coffee talks and timber cruising.
