A Forest Resource degree from Clemson is designed to provide students with advanced training for scientific-based management of forest resources, products, and services.

The Program offers three degree options: Master of Forest Resources (MFR), Master’s of Science in Forest Resources (MS), and a Doctor of Philosophy in Forest Resources (PhD). This listing is for the MFR degree.

The MFR is a non-thesis degree, while a formal thesis is required for the MS. Students interested in the MFR program do not need to identify an advisor.

The Forest Resources graduate degrees are housed within the Department of Forestry and Environmental Conservation. The Forestry faculty have expertise in a wide variety of forest-related disciplines, including forest ecology, forest health, wood products, forest economics, and silviculture.

Graduates from the program are working in both private and public spheres to help ensure sustainability and quality of resources including timber, water, and recreational value on natural lands. Enrollment in these programs is open to students who have earned a baccalaureate degree in forestry, forest products, or a related field.
