Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Forest Resource Management] From Clemson University

Enthusiasm, hands-on problem solving and relevant research just scratch the surface of what you'll encounter when you step into our classrooms and labs. While many of our students see themselves working in the forest, or doing field research after graduation, many others seek employment in a more suit-and-tie office setting, perhaps negotiating export prices with international markets.

No matter which you prefer, the forestry profession is about conserving our natural resources and improving our world through careful, scientifically sound management practices.
