PRE-FORESTRY
The student who plans to earn a professional degree in forestry may enroll in pre-forestry courses at the University of Arkansas and must transfer to a school of forestry to complete the degree requirements.
A program, such as the one below, can be worked out for students. Students coming into the pre-forestry program will be advised by a forester to ensure a smooth transition from this institution to whatever institution the student plans to attend.
