Forestry (OSU Transfer) Emphasis - Associate of Science (AS)

Description

The Associate of Science Forestry (OSU Transfer) Emphasis is intended to fulfill many lower-division requirements of the Bachelor of Science in Forest Management from Oregon State University. Other universities’ requirements for a forest management degree may be similar, and course requirements for other forestry majors will differ. Students planning to transfer to any university forestry program should meet with a forest resources technology advisor to discuss transfer requirements.

Advising Notes

It is recommended that a student also take FOR 251 Recreational Resource Management. Though it is not included as an Associate of Science requirement, students will need to meet the Difference, Power and Oppression: Foundations requirement at OSU and could use COCC courses to meet it. See the OSU Core Education course list.
