自然资源理学硕士-林业

林业选项的学生通常拥有林业或自然资源管理的本科学位。这些学位是专门为满足专业协会的认证标准而设计的。那些没有这个背景的人可能需要完成一些额外的课程，作为他们的MS计划的一部分。感兴趣的领域包括森林资源经济学和管理，生物特征/度量，森林健康，森林生态系统动态以及空间数据分析（遥感和GIS）。成功完成MS学位后，学生继续为联邦和州机构，私营企业和非政府组织工作。
UNH's M.S. in natural resources with an option in forestry will prepare you for work in a range of forestry-related fields, from sustainable forest management and conservation to policy development. Focus areas of the program include forest resource economics and management, forest measurements (biometrics), forest health, forest ecosystem ecology, and spatial data analysis (remote sensing and GIS). You'll learn research and analysis tools to prepare you for evidence-based advanced practice. Graduates of our program have gone on to work for federal and state agencies, for private industry, and for non-governmental organizations. In the forestry option graduate program, you'll be supported by a productive and internationally recognized faculty. Most students in this option already have an undergraduate degree in forestry or natural resource management. However, if you do not, it is possible to complete some additional basic forestry coursework as part of the M.S. program.
