Forest ecosystems are a key player in biosphere functioning as they modulate and link atmospheric, terrestrial and hydrological processes. Forests comprise about one-third of land area globally and in the United States. They provide a myriad of benefits to the earth’s human population, including renewable wood products and energy, food, medicine, shelter, places for outdoor recreation, and inspiration for cultural and spiritual values. Forest ecosystems regulate air temperature and enhance the water cycle and precipitation to ensure productive agriculture and they stabilize stream flow to reduce soil erosion and flooding.
Students in the Master of Science degree program in forestry are eligible for the dual Juris Doctor (JD) program with Michigan State University - College of Law.
Students who are enrolled in Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degree programs in the Department of Forestry may elect specializations in resource economics. For additional information, refer to the statement on Interdepartmental Graduate Specializations in Resource Economics.
