Forestry

Curriculum / Coursework

Although the majority of classes will be taught on campus, a significant portion of classes and labs will be taught outdoors. Field labs are carried out on various ecosystem and diverse forest management regimes. Andrew College has fostered great relationships with industrial & non-industrial landowners, public organizations, and private companies (e.g., lumber, pulp, paper and engineered wood products) who not only help run field labs, but also help our graduates to find employment soon after graduation. Students also take part in supervised internship which is vital to their academic training in forestry.

Scholarships / Internships

The internship will provide students opportunities to learn from the professionals and also provide excellent contact to future employers. In order to be prepared for these internships, students must maintain a 2.0 grade point average both within their field and overall.
