The Master of Science Forestry Thesis-based program is a research-oriented degree designed to give graduates a firm foundation in the process of scientific inquiry. Research is often undertaken in one or more of the biophysical forest sciences, but social science research may also be undertaken. Research projects are designed jointly by the student and a faculty member who serves as the student's Faculty Supervisor. The course-based Master’s degree (Master’s in Forest Management) emphasizes professional development in forest management, policy, geomatics, and ecology. The degree entails 4 terms of coursework (16 months). Three terms are on campus and one term, comprised of an internship and field school, is off-campus.
