UAF provides training in forest sciences through the Natural Resource Management/Forestry program. The program provides students with a foundation in the biological, social and physical sciences and professional education in forest sciences. The academic program is a blend of classroom, laboratory, and field work to develop skills for a professional career in forestry.

For students interested in pursuing a forestry degree outside of Alaska, UAF's School of Agriculture and Land Resources Management offers a program in cooperation with Northern Arizona University. Students enrolled in Natural Resources Management complete the first two years of their program at UAF, then transfer to Northern Arizona University's forestry program to complete their junior and senior years. The forestry program at Northern Arizona University is accredited by the Society of American Foresters.

The pre-forestry program at UAF introduces students to land resources management and provides lower level courses common to most forestry curricula. Students desiring to transfer to a forestry degree program outside of Alaska should consult their faculty advisor before registering for classes. This will ensure a schedule that provides for the expeditious transfer of credit.

Students who are considering forestry as a career choice should contact the student affairs coordinator within the School of Agriculture and Land Resources Management at (907) 474-5276.
