A Word from the Dean

SUNY-ESF is the only institution of higher learning in the United States that is dedicated solely to the study of natural resources and the environment. It is a vibrant community of scholars pursuing environmental discovery in basic and applied sciences, engineering, design, policy and management. I encourage you to peruse ESF's strategic plan, Vision 2020 that presents institutional aspirations and goals.

Thank you for considering the graduate programs of study at ESF. We offer the following academic and professional degrees: the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), Master of Science (MS), Master of Landscape Architecture (MLA), Master of Professional Studies (MPS), and the Master of Forestry (MF).

Please visit the home pages of the department of your interest areas for specific details about graduate program opportunities.
