The Urban Forest Management program prepares graduates for a wide range of employment and career choices. Each student receives personal, one-on-one help in selecting their program of study, including a workplace internship. Students will collect and analyze urban and community forestry data, coordinate planning activities, manage field operations, provide technical expertise and lead staff. Students also implement bidding and contracting processes and develop and maintain stakeholder relationships.
