Bachelor of Science in Forest & Sustainable Products Degree
Design for the Future
Sustainability and innovation are words to live by for professionals in Forest and Sustainable Products. An important part of the ÐÒÔË¿ìÈý for over 100 years and accredited by the Society of Wood Science and Technology, our B.S. in Forest and Sustainable Products trains students to create and design new products from bio-based materials, from wood to recycled materials.
Through hands-on courses, our students apply what they learn in the classroom in our state-of-the-art laboratories in a variety of areas such as biofuel creation from wood waste, development of plastic-enhanced wood for construction, and innovative use of small-diameter trees. Our program is the only program of its kind with an integrated business curriculum that prepares students to work in the renewable materials and wood products industry; a $3 billion industry in ÐÒÔË¿ìÈý. As a major in Forest and Sustainable Products, students take advantage of course work in five career tracks:
- Bio-Energy
- Bio-Based Materials
- Construction & Design
- Materials Acquisition & Supply
- Renewable Materials Business Management
Students can also customize their education based on career goals.
