Introduction
Are you interested in the future of our forests, forest management, and the political/social contexts that are affecting our forests? If so, the Associate of Science in Forestry degree is for you! This degree is for students interested in a career in forestry as a professional forester, silviculturist, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) specialist, or fire ecologist. Upon completion of this degree, students should have completed all required pre-professional coursework to apply to Oregon State University’s professional program in the school of Forestry.
OSU’s School of Forestry has three different degree options; Forest Management, Forest Operations Management, and Forest Restoration + Fire. This degree directly transfers to the Forest Management option, however with a few minor changes in classes, all three options are possible. For students who want to enter the workforce after completing the AS in Forestry, some entry-level jobs are available within the Tillamook community. One common employment option is becoming a forestry technician.
