Forests cover one-third of the land area in the United States and rangelands cover more than half of the earth’s land surface. Forestry, Rangeland Resource Science, and Applied Fire Science & Management degrees teach you to connect with and manage these lands, ensuring a sustainable future for the nation. At Humboldt, students get hands-on learning in some of the world’s most spectacular and important forests and rangelands, personal attention from faculty, and a clear path to a career outdoors.
In the Department of Forestry, Fire & Rangeland Management, you can choose to major in Forestry, Rangeland Resource Science, or Applied Fire Science & Management.
Forestry
Cal Poly Humboldt is surrounded by redwood forests. You’ll gain hands-on experience and the skills that employers are looking for. Our staff and faculty work closely with students to help them understand the biological complexities of the forest and the interactions between the forest and social and economic forces, all through a lens of sustainability.
The Bachelor of Science in Forestry has a core set of courses, and you must choose one of six concentrations to emphasize in your studies:
Concentration in Forest Hydrology
Concentration in Forest Operations
Concentration in Forest Restoration
Concentration in Forest Soils
Concentration in Tribal Forestry
Concentration in Wildland Fire Management
Applied Fire Science & Management
Wildfires are becoming larger and burning hotter and more frequently. The Applied Fire Science & Management B.S. program is meeting that challenge head on. Students explore fire science and management from multiple disciplines and perspectives that include Traditional Ecological Knowledge (or Native wisdom). Learning best modern practices for our changing climate and growing world provides students with a strong background in the science, management, and policy of fire.
