Advisors: Douglas Valek, Department of Biology, 774-3758

Students planning a forestry career normally should plan to enter a forestry school accredited by the Society of American Foresters after finishing one to two years of preparatory work at CMU. There are differences among the requirements of various forestry schools which make it impossible to give an exact course of study.

Before or during the first year at CMU, a student should personally contact the professional schools of his or her choice for admission requirements, advice on courses, and entry dates.

Students are urged to contact the CMU Pre-Forestry advisor early in their first semester to discuss aspects of the forestry career which will be useful to the student.

The student’s schedule for the first year should be chosen from the following courses:

ENG 101 (3) and 201 (3)
MTH 106 (3) and 107 (3) - students with credit for these courses from high school should enroll for more advanced mathematics, i.e. MTH 130.
BIO 101 (3) OR BIO 105 (3) and 203 (3)
SDA 101 (3)
GEL 101 (3) and 102 (1)
CHM 131 (4) and 132 (4)
ECO 201 (3)

Electives: The pre-forestry advisor can recommend electives which will be most useful in meeting expressed interests or future requirements.
