森林商业研究生证书
Foresters need advanced business and financial analysis tools to complete complex tasks of appraisal, investment analysis, taxes, marketing, and operations in a forestry setting. In addition, leadership, human resource management, and communication skills are vital for any business organization. To meet those needs for advanced business skills in forest enterprises, the University of Arkansas at 蒙蒂塞洛, the College of Forestry, Agriculture, and Natural Resources, and the Arkansas Center for Forest 业务 have developed a 森林商业研究生证书.
研究生招生信息
To be admitted for pursuing the degree of M.S. in Forest Resources, a student must first be admitted with graduate status to the University of Arkansas at 蒙蒂塞洛, and then apply to the 林农资源学院. It is recommended that applicants have a baccalaureate degree in forestry, the wildlife sciences, another natural resource management discipline, or the geospatial sciences. 不过，我们也鼓励其他领域的学生申请。 All applicants will have transcripts reviewed by College of Forestry, Agriculture & Natural Resources faculty to assess the need for cognate work. Applicants whose record shows an insufficient background in natural resources will be required to enroll in undergraduate cognate course work (and the prerequisites to those courses) that will not count for credit toward a degree. This course work will be scheduled in consultation with the student’s advisory committee.
Specific requirements are listed under the Forest Resources graduate program section of the 正规赌博平台目录.
Information on admission to the University of Arkansas at 蒙蒂塞洛 is available under 招生.
