Academic Programs
The Department of Forest Ecosystems and Society (FES) oversees undergraduate degree (BS) programs in Recreation Resource Management and Tourism and Outdoor Leadership (OSU-Cascades Campus only) and provides the administrative home for the interdisciplinary BS program in Natural Resources.
FES oversees the graduate program in Forest Science and the Graduate Certificate in Sustainable Natural Resources. Faculty primarily responsible for directing graduate students in the Forest Social Science, Natural Resource Education and Extension, Natural Resource Policy and Law, and Wildlife/Forestry options of the Forest Resources degree program are located in FES, but this degree program is administered in the new Forest Engineering, Resources, and Management Department (FERM).
FES graduate students work in areas of interest under the appropriate graduate program listed below. Students may also be involved in the interdisciplinary programs listed below that are administered outside of FES, but in which our faculty participate.
