The Forest Ecosystems and Society (FES) graduate program develops interdisciplinary thinkers, highly capable scientists, and natural resource leaders who are prepared to solve complex problems wherever they exist on the socioecological spectrum. Students earn their Master of Forestry (MF), Master of Science (MS), or Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degrees as they build the skills and knowledge they will need for fascinating careers in research, teaching, management, policy, outreach, and more.

Internationally recognized faculty and facilities

Our faculty are world leaders in a wide variety of disciplines, including:

Restoration ecology

Forest ecology

Social science / human dimensions of natural resources

Genetics and tree improvement

Tree physiology

Climate change and carbon dynamics

Natural resource economics and policy

Wilderness and recreation resource management

Silviculture

Wildlife biology

Nature-based tourism and ecotourism

Urban Forestry

Students will also benefit from FES' collaborative ties with the US Forest Service, the USGS Forest and Range Ecosystem Science Center, and the US Environmental Protection Agency.

As part of our world-class facilities, FES has access to 'living laboratories' spread over more than 27,000 acres around Oregon. Students can conduct research or take classes in the College Forests, the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest, and a wide array of public and private forested landscapes, as well as local, state, and national parks.

The flexibility to build your perfect program

In the FES program, graduate students are not limited by a heavily mandated curriculum or a required study track. There are only three required courses in the FES graduate program where all students must enroll in FES 520 "Posing Researchable Questions" (3 credits) usually in the fall term of their first year and FES 525 "Interdisciplinary Collaborative Problem Solving" (3 credits) usually in the fall term of their second year. Additionally, all students must enroll in FES 526 "Effective Communication and Presentation Skills for Scientists" (1 credit) usually offered in spring term.

Other than the three required courses listed above, FES graduate students work with hand-picked faculty and professionals to create their own list of other courses and the topic of their capstone (MF), thesis (MS), or dissertation (PhD) project. This flexibility allows students to focus on the skills and knowledge most relevant to their interests. FES students can graduate with a truly interdisciplinary education, with coursework from programs, departments, and colleges all across Oregon State University.

Devotion to diversity, in whatever form it takes

Today's socioecological problems have international impact, affecting communities and individuals regardless of age, income, race, creed, ethnicity, gender, or personal history. We endeavor to educate students of all possible backgrounds, preparing them to contribute their perspective as professionals in their field of study. The diversity of our student body extends to their interests as well, with students identifying as biologists, sociologists / human dimensions specialists, geneticists, philosophers, ecologists, economists, natural resource practitioners, and any number of combinations in and around these fields.

3+2 Forestry Joint Degree Program

Willamette University and Oregon State University have partnered to offer a 3+2 joint degree program that combines the breadth of the Willamette University undergraduate curriculum with highly focused graduate study in Oregon State University's College of Forestry. Students will learn from expert faculty and have the opportunity to study in both the Willamette Zena and OSU Research Forests (i.e., "College Forest") while earning both bachelor's and master's (MF) degrees.

After completing three years of undergraduate coursework at Willamette University and maintaining a minimum GPA of 3.0, Willamette University students will choose to complete a Master of Forestry (MF) program in Forest Ecosystems and Society or Sustainable Forest Management at Oregon State University. Students must declare their intention to pursue this pathway by the start of the third year at Willamette University and formally apply to OSU according to graduate school admission deadlines. If admitted to Oregon State University, students will enroll with provisional graduate status in year four. Please see the sample timeline to map out a MF degree at OSU.

If you are a Willamette University undergraduate student in your first or second year and have interest in this 3+2 joint degree pathway, please connect with your advisor at Willamette University and contact the appropriate Graduate Program Coordinator at Oregon State University: Juliet Sutton (Forest Ecosystems and Society Graduate Program Coordinator) or Madison Dudley (Sustainable Forest Management Coordinator).

The Forest Ecosystems and Society (FES) graduate program develops interdisciplinary thinkers, highly capable scientists, and natural resource leaders who are prepared to solve complex problems wherever they exist on the socioecological spectrum. Students earn their Master of Forestry (MF), Master of Science (MS), or Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degrees as they build the skills and knowledge they will need for fascinating careers in research, teaching, management, policy, outreach, and more.

Internationally recognized faculty and facilities

Our faculty are world leaders in a wide variety of disciplines, including:

Restoration ecology

Forest ecology

Social science / human dimensions of natural resources

Genetics and tree improvement

Tree physiology

Climate change and carbon dynamics

Natural resource economics and policy

Wilderness and recreation resource management

Silviculture

Wildlife biology

Nature-based tourism and ecotourism

Urban Forestry

Students will also benefit from FES' collaborative ties with the US Forest Service, the USGS Forest and Range Ecosystem Science Center, and the US Environmental Protection Agency.

As part of our world-class facilities, FES has access to 'living laboratories' spread over more than 27,000 acres around Oregon. Students can conduct research or take classes in the College Forests, the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest, and a wide array of public and private forested landscapes, as well as local, state, and national parks.

The flexibility to build your perfect program

In the FES program, graduate students are not limited by a heavily mandated curriculum or a required study track. There are only three required courses in the FES graduate program where all students must enroll in FES 520 "Posing Researchable Questions" (3 credits) usually in the fall term of their first year and FES 525 "Interdisciplinary Collaborative Problem Solving" (3 credits) usually in the fall term of their second year. Additionally, all students must enroll in FES 526 "Effective Communication and Presentation Skills for Scientists" (1 credit) usually offered in spring term.

Other than the three required courses listed above, FES graduate students work with hand-picked faculty and professionals to create their own list of other courses and the topic of their capstone (MF), thesis (MS), or dissertation (PhD) project. This flexibility allows students to focus on the skills and knowledge most relevant to their interests. FES students can graduate with a truly interdisciplinary education, with coursework from programs, departments, and colleges all across Oregon State University.

Devotion to diversity, in whatever form it takes

Today's socioecological problems have international impact, affecting communities and individuals regardless of age, income, race, creed, ethnicity, gender, or personal history. We endeavor to educate students of all possible backgrounds, preparing them to contribute their perspective as professionals in their field of study. The diversity of our student body extends to their interests as well, with students identifying as biologists, sociologists / human dimensions specialists, geneticists, philosophers, ecologists, economists, natural resource practitioners, and any number of combinations in and around these fields.

3+2 Forestry Joint Degree Program

Willamette University and Oregon State University have partnered to offer a 3+2 joint degree program that combines the breadth of the Willamette University undergraduate curriculum with highly focused graduate study in Oregon State University's College of Forestry. Students will learn from expert faculty and have the opportunity to study in both the Willamette Zena and OSU Research Forests (i.e., "College Forest") while earning both bachelor's and master's (MF) degrees.

After completing three years of undergraduate coursework at Willamette University and maintaining a minimum GPA of 3.0, Willamette University students will choose to complete a Master of Forestry (MF) program in Forest Ecosystems and Society or Sustainable Forest Management at Oregon State University. Students must declare their intention to pursue this pathway by the start of the third year at Willamette University and formally apply to OSU according to graduate school admission deadlines. If admitted to Oregon State University, students will enroll with provisional graduate status in year four. Please see the sample timeline to map out a MF degree at OSU.

If you are a Willamette University undergraduate student in your first or second year and have interest in this 3+2 joint degree pathway, please connect with your advisor at Willamette University and contact the appropriate Graduate Program Coordinator at Oregon State University: Juliet Sutton (Forest Ecosystems and Society Graduate Program Coordinator) or Madison Dudley (Sustainable Forest Management Coordinator).

As part of our world-class facilities, FES has access to 'living laboratories' spread over more than 27,000 acres around Oregon. Students can conduct research or take classes in the College Forests, the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest, and a wide array of public and private forested landscapes, as well as local, state, and national parks.

The flexibility to build your perfect program

In the FES program, graduate students are not limited by a heavily mandated curriculum or a required study track. There are only three required courses in the FES graduate program where all students must enroll in FES 520 "Posing Researchable Questions" (3 credits) usually in the fall term of their first year and FES 525 "Interdisciplinary Collaborative Problem Solving" (3 credits) usually in the fall term of their second year. Additionally, all students must enroll in FES 526 "Effective Communication and Presentation Skills for Scientists" (1 credit) usually offered in spring term.

Other than the three required courses listed above, FES graduate students work with hand-picked faculty and professionals to create their own list of other courses and the topic of their capstone (MF), thesis (MS), or dissertation (PhD) project. This flexibility allows students to focus on the skills and knowledge most relevant to their interests. FES students can graduate with a truly interdisciplinary education, with coursework from programs, departments, and colleges all across Oregon State University.

Devotion to diversity, in whatever form it takes

Today's socioecological problems have international impact, affecting communities and individuals regardless of age, income, race, creed, ethnicity, gender, or personal history. We endeavor to educate students of all possible backgrounds, preparing them to contribute their perspective as professionals in their field of study. The diversity of our student body extends to their interests as well, with students identifying as biologists, sociologists / human dimensions specialists, geneticists, philosophers, ecologists, economists, natural resource practitioners, and any number of combinations in and around these fields.

3+2 Forestry Joint Degree Program

Willamette University and Oregon State University have partnered to offer a 3+2 joint degree program that combines the breadth of the Willamette University undergraduate curriculum with highly focused graduate study in Oregon State University's College of Forestry. Students will learn from expert faculty and have the opportunity to study in both the Willamette Zena and OSU Research Forests (i.e., "College Forest") while earning both bachelor's and master's (MF) degrees.

After completing three years of undergraduate coursework at Willamette University and maintaining a minimum GPA of 3.0, Willamette University students will choose to complete a Master of Forestry (MF) program in Forest Ecosystems and Society or Sustainable Forest Management at Oregon State University. Students must declare their intention to pursue this pathway by the start of the third year at Willamette University and formally apply to OSU according to graduate school admission deadlines. If admitted to Oregon State University, students will enroll with provisional graduate status in year four. Please see the sample timeline to map out a MF degree at OSU.

If you are a Willamette University undergraduate student in your first or second year and have interest in this 3+2 joint degree pathway, please connect with your advisor at Willamette University and contact the appropriate Graduate Program Coordinator at Oregon State University: Juliet Sutton (Forest Ecosystems and Society Graduate Program Coordinator) or Madison Dudley (Sustainable Forest Management Coordinator).

Explore the other side of the world with CoF faculty to learn about forest ecology and resource management in a changing climate.

New Zealand is a country of stunning landscapes - vibrant forests, spectacular mountains, alpine grasslands - and fascinating indigenous Maori culture. A leader in progressive action on climate change, carbon sequestration, and conservation, New Zealand also has a highly productive timber industry which is critical to its resource- and export-driven economy. Students will delve into forest ecology and resource management on both the North and South Island - visiting native and plantation forests, bubbling geothermal hotspots, and a field station located in the majestic scenery of the Southern Alps. And for fans of Lord of the Rings, there's a special visit to the Hobbiton film set.

For more information about the course, application process, funding, or other logistical details, please contact Rachael Fahrenbach.

Faculty-led programs are open to ALL OSU STUDENTS
This includes all majors and campuses, including E-campus, Cascades, dually enrolled students at partner Community Colleges, and our main campus in Corvallis. Because these programs are short-term, they tend to bring together diverse groups of graduate and undergraduate students, online and campus-based learners, students of different ages, majors, and life experiences. That diversity makes group interaction so much richer because there are so many different perspectives.
