Pre-Forestry

Students interested in forestry may take their first two years of course work at MSU and then complete their studies at accredited schools of forestry. If at the end of two years a student does not secure admission to an accredited school of forestry, most of the credits earned may be applied toward a degree at MSU. The program may be modified to meet entrance requirements at any institution offering a forestry program.
