The University of Montana College of Forestry and Conservation
The College of Forestry and Conservation (originally School of Forestry) was founded in 1913, one of the first programs accredited by the Society of American Foresters. The College has earned nationwide respect for the quality of its programs, and it has produced some of the nation's finest natural resource managers.
The College has three departments: Ecosystem and Conservation Sciences, Forest Management, and Society and Conservation. Research and outreach activities are administered through the Montana Forest and Conservation Experiment Station, a state-wide agency of the Montana University System.
The College of Forestry and Conservation faculty stress hands-on experience to supplement students' academic work. This is accomplished with well-equipped laboratories, extensive computer technology, and access to four outstanding field stations -- the 28,000-acre Lubrecht Experimental Forest, the Flathead Lake Biological Station on the shores of 184 square mile Flathead Lake, the 3500-acre Bandy Ranch, and the Boone and Crocket Club's Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Ranch of 6000 acres along the east face of the Rockies. Also, the University library houses a forest and conservation library.
College of Forestry and Conservation faculty members represent several natural resource disciplines, from resource management and social sciences to physical and biological sciences. The faculty takes pride in the attention devoted to teaching and counseling.
The student body has about 590 undergraduate majors and 155 graduate students from all over the United States, Canada, and many foreign countries.

College of Natural Resources
The University of Idaho College of Natural Resources (CNR), located in Moscow Idaho, is one of the premier natural resource schools in the country. Students can earn seven different undergraduate degrees, which include Ecology and Conservation Biology, Forest Resources, Forest Products, Resource Recreation and Tourism, Rangeland Ecology and Management, Fishery Resources, and Wildlife Resources. We also offer Masters and Ph.D. degrees in these topic areas as well as a non-thesis Masters of Natural Resources, which can be completed as an on-line degree. We have approximately 600 undergraduate students, 185 graduates students, and 50 faculty members.
As a leading research university, faculty and students are involved with cutting-edge research that generates and transfers technologies that not only impact Idaho, but the nation and our world. Preparing students to become environmental stewards and leaders in the field of natural resources takes a balanced approach, and we require an integrated undergraduate core curriculum, which emphasizes disciplinary and interdisciplinary skills using innovative instructional programs. Our integrated management educational program occurs in a residential setting and in a distance learning setting for professionals and provides a balance between theoretical and practical experiences.
