Graduate academic programs at ESF share a foundation of rigorous science and dedication to wise use of natural resources. ESF offers graduate programs at several levels, from Certificates of Advanced Studies, to various types of Maser's programs and a Doctor of Philosophy degree. Each program provides a unique opportunity for you to further your education with professors who are dedicated to both their teaching and research endeavors.
Ecosystems all over the world benefit from the professionalism and expertise of ESF graduates and the faculty members at the College of Environmental Science and Forestry. You will study with professors whose work improves and sustains the environment from the Yucatan Peninsula to Alaska and whose expertise is sought by government and corporations. That same faculty will be personally concerned with your progress. The professors' cutting-edge research will become part of your classes, and your classes will merge with the world beyond the College.
