ABOUT THE MAJOR
The Associate of Science in Forest Technology program at Glenville State College has been offered since 1968 and continues to be successful and in-demand. The two-year degree allows students to complete the program promptly and then start their forestry career. Through classroom study, field trips, hands-on lab experiences, and an internship, students will acquire in-depth forestry knowledge and real-world forestry skills.
Students become knowledgeable and skilled in tree and wood identification, forest measurements, mapping, forest ecology, silviculture, timber harvesting, forest health, and forest management. Graduates pursue careers in wood products industries, consulting firms, state and federal government, and with utility companies. Glenville State College’s A.S. Forest Technology program is one of only 25 programs nationwide that is accredited by the Society of American Foresters. This accreditation means that the program meets demanding nationwide standards and provides a high quality, rigorous education to students. The program is also a member of the Council of Eastern Forest Technician Schools (CEFTS).
Students interested in obtaining a bachelor’s degree after they complete their two-year degree can seamlessly enroll in the Natural Resource Management program and major in forest technology. The four-year degree program opens up more employment opportunities in state and federal government agencies that require a bachelor’s degree.
