Studying forestry amid urban sprawl—that seems crazy to us. Michigan Tech’s forestry majors have a distinct advantage: one of the largest contiguous forested areas in the eastern US, including over 5,000 acres of research forest, right in our back yard. You’ll spend time studying and researching outdoors, then come back to work in state-of-the-art forestry labs. How smart is that?
As a forestry major at Michigan Tech, you’ll get the chance to work on awesome projects. The rapidly growing Forest and Environmental Resource Management Enterprise team (FERM) or The Mesocosm—an underground process research lab—are just two options for hands-on research. It’s easy to see that majoring in forestry means more than just learning about trees!
