Research Opportunities

Research activity within the School of Forest Resources and Environmental Science is thriving. We attribute our successes—including a top ranking for number of research citations per faculty member—in part to the collaborative atmosphere within the School and the University as a whole. The School is home to two of Michigan Tech's major research centers: the Ecosystem Science Center and the Biotechnology Research Center. Opportunities for collaboration on a multidisciplinary level are available within the Sustainable Futures Institute, the Michigan Tech Research Institute, and the Michigan Tech Transportation Institute, as well as other University areas. The exceptional effort and individual attention put forth by faculty to help students incorporate research into their studies attracts both undergraduate and graduate students to our degree programs.

Our research centers; our research labs and groups; our research production and expenditures; and our new research initiatives together tell the story of an exciting place with exceptional opportunities for students and faculty members alike.
