in resource measurement, analysis, management, and policy. Students gain hands-on research and technical experience alongside faculty at 11,000 acres of Yale-owned forested properties as well as benefiting from opportunities in management and policy development through YSE centers and programs.</p> <p>Accredited by the Society of American Foresters (SAF) under its Forestry standard, the Master of Forestry degree is intended for students wishing to pursue professional careers in the management and policy of forest resources, across the span of urban to rural environments. These professional opportunities can be private-sector forest management—corporate or consulting; public-sector forest management—federal, state, county, local government; stewardship and conservation of forest resources - government, private or non-profit sector; or education. The goal is to prepare students to manage forest resources for various public and private values within a complex social, political, and ecological environment.</p> <p>The curriculum draws from coursework in the natural and social sciences and focuses on the complex relationships among the science, management, and policy of forest resources. Students are also expected to hone their capacities as leaders and managers through summer internships, professional skills courses, and other opportunities.</p> <p><a class="btn" data-entity-substitution="canonical" data-entity-type="node" data-entity-uuid="0e7a26a2-6dce-4655-9d4f-be7e4dea8c97" href="/academics/masters/mf/mf-curriculum-courses" title="MF Curriculum Courses">MF Courses</a> <a class="btn" data-entity-substitution="canonical" data-entity-type="node" data-entity-uuid="58664dd7-07dd-4bfc-8da0-4e48a1344938" href="/academics/masters/mf/mf-curriculum-description" title="MF Curriculum Description">MF Curriculum Description</a></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="initial-12 medium-4 cell"> <div class="sidebar-program-content"> <h3 class="small-text"><strong>Degree Awarded</strong></h3> <p><span style='display: inline;'>Master of Forestry</span> — MF</p> </div> <div class="sidebar-program-content"> <h3 class="small-text"><strong>Program Duration</strong></h3> <p>2 Years</p> </div> <div class="sidebar-program-content"> <h3 class="small-text"><strong>Required Credit Hours</strong></h3> <p>48</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section id="why-choose-yse-" data-jump-nav-heading="Why choose YSE?" class="two-up global-spacing global-spacing--xlarge paragraph--default two-up--why-yse blue--dark topographic-map global-padding global-padding--xlarge"> <div class="section-heading text-margin-reset" > <div class="grid-container"> <div class="grid-x grid-margin-x"> <div class='initial-12 cell'> <h2 class="section-heading__heading oho-animate oho-animate-single">Why choose the Yale School of the Environment?</h2> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="grid-container"> <div class="grid-x grid-margin-x"> <!-- maybe break out array here? --> <div class="cell initial-12 medium-6 global-spacing--default"> <div class="card card--small card--two-up card--collapse" > <div class="card__media"> <figure class="global-spacing--small"> <div class="aspect-ratio-frame" style="--aspect-ratio: .56"> <img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/styles/4x3z5_medium/public/content/images/4577/Why-YSE-Experiential-21.jpg?h=2fb7e8de&itok=wEp7W2p5" width="800" height="600" alt="Students on a field trip at a water treatment facility" class="image-style-_x3z5-medium" /> </div> </figure> </div> <div class="card__content"> <div class="card__content__inner"> <h3 class="serif">Experiential Learning</h3> <div class="global-spacing--xsmall"> <p><p>At YSE, education and training extend well beyond the classroom.

Generally, students take courses that are designed to address and prepare them for solving important problems in the real world. Courses concerning resource management focus on increasing the students ability to ask relevant questions in useful ways, and to gather data to answer these questions. These courses are designed to maintain high faculty-student and student-student interaction. A significant project component is expected in these courses, some being client driven (e.g. management plans) while others are research reports or assessments (e.g. independent research; seminar projects; and forest management assessments). These projects are intended to be of high professional/academic caliber, publishable as part of the School’s communications or in recognized journals.<br> <br> Another category of courses students take during their second year concerns "professional knowledge." This category strives to provide aspects of forestry that broaden and add to the students knowledge base from a professional perspective in a self-designed area of interest (e.g urban forestry, tropical forest restoration, conservation and ecological forestry, agroforestry, climate change and carbon, business and investment, watershed management, social equity and justice). Lastly, during a student's fourth semester the MF capstone course, <a href="https://resources.environment.yale.edu/courses/detail/955">ENV 955</a>, addresses leadership, among other management skills, a characteristic that we have seek to strengthen in all of our students since the inception of the School.<br> <br> Throughout the two-year education experience for a student there is an array of local, regional, national, and international field trips extended field experiences, and fellowships to witness and participate in the practice of forestry in diverse settings; and workshops and seminars to engage students that are designed to expose students to the breadth and complexity of real world forest issues..</p> </div> </article> <div class="cell initial-12"> <hr> </div> </div> <div class="grid-container timeline__bottom-button"> <div class="grid-x grid-margin-x"> <div class="cell"> <a href="/admissions/masters" class="btn btn--default">How To Apply</a> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section id="admissions-and-financial-aid" data-jump-nav-heading="Admissions and Financial Aid" class="contact global-spacing global-spacing--xlarge"> <div class="contact-text-and-card grid-container"> <div class="grid-x grid-margin-x"> <div class="contact-text-and-card_text cell medium-5 large-6"> <h2>Contact Master’s Admissions</h2> <div class="global-spacing--small"> <p>Introduce yourself to the <strong><a data-entity-substitution="canonical" data-entity-type="node" data-entity-uuid="0fae48ef-48cf-46c3-838c-2a053b0008b0" href="/admissions/masters/contact" title="Office of Admissions and Financial Aid">YSE master’s admissions team</a></strong>.</p> </div> <div class="global-spacing--medium"> <a href="https://apply.environment.yale.edu/register/inquiry" class="btn">Request Information</a> </div> </div> <div class="cell medium-7 large-6"> <article class="contact-card"> <div class="aspect-ratio-frame" style="--aspect-ratio: 1.323"> <a href="/directory/people/contact-masters-admissions" hreflang="en"> <img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/styles/446x558/public/content/images/4921/Admissions-300-Prospect.jpg?h=75b41f95&itok=u_Y3iBJd" width="448" height="560" alt="Office of Admissions offices" class="image-style-_46x558" /> </a> </div> <div class="contact-card--text"> <h2> Master’s Admissions </h2> <div class="global-spacing--medium"> <div class="contact-card__email"> <a href="mailto:admissions.yse@yale.edu">admissions.yse@yale.edu</a> </div> <div> <span class="contact-card__phone"> <a href="tel:+1 203-432-5106">+1 203-432-5106</a> </span> </div> </div> </div> </article> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="learning-community global-spacing global-spacing--xlarge global-padding text-margin-reset"> <div class="card card--large card--learning-community-intro card--full-width" > <div class="card__media"> <figure class="global-spacing--small"> <div class="aspect-ratio-frame" style="--aspect-ratio: .43"> <div class="card__scroll-tracking-overlay"></div> <picture> <source srcset="/sites/default/files/styles/320x137/public/content/images/52/LC-panel-danpage.jpg?h=bd24be0f&itok=p0uqZLdU 320w, /sites/default/files/styles/500x214/public/content/images/52/LC-panel-danpage.jpg?h=bd24be0f&itok=5MidvLaE 500w, /sites/default/files/styles/768x320/public/content/images/52/LC-panel-danpage.jpg?h=bd24be0f&itok=-LkYstam 768w, /sites/default/files/styles/1160x500/public/content/images/52/LC-panel-danpage.jpg?h=bd24be0f&itok=d7zrJnat 1160w, /sites/default/files/styles/1440x617/public/content/images/52/LC-panel-danpage.jpg?h=bd24be0f&itok=CSDdxi08 1440w" type="image/jpeg" sizes="100vw" width="768" height="320"/> <img loading="lazy" width="768" height="320" src="/sites/default/files/styles/320x137/public/content/images/52/LC-panel-danpage.jpg?h=bd24be0f&itok=p0uqZLdU" alt="Learning Communities composite illustration" /> </picture> </div> </figure> </div> <div class="card__content"> <div class="card__content__inner"> <h2>Learning Communities</h2> <p><p>YSE's Learning Communities were created to offer robust interdisciplinary experiences and networks.
