Coursework
Students planning a forestry career
normally should plan to enter a forestry school accredited by the Society
of American Foresters after completing one or two years at CMU. Michigan
State University and Michigan Technological University have undergraduate
programs accredited by the Society of American Foresters. The pre-forestry
adviser can recommend courses that will be most useful in meeting the
requirements of a particular forestry school.
Typical First Year Schedule at CMU
*
Math 106 (3 cr.) and 107 (3 cr.) --
students with advanced placement due to high school
coursework should enroll in more advanced courses
e.g. - MTH 130

*Students are
urged to discuss course choices with their
adviser before the end of their first
semester.
IMPORTANT
All pre-professional students need to see their
pre-professional adviser as
early as possible. Planning a course of study with a CMU adviser is
critical since entrance requirements vary from one school to another.
Students must also make early contact with schools to which they may be
applying.
Students who intend to graduate with a
degree from CMU must complete, and have their adviser sign, a "Major
Authorization" form prior to finishing 56 credit hours.
Students who plan to transfer to a
professional school must complete and have their adviser sign an "Intent
to Declare Major" form prior to completing 56 credit hours.
Forms available at the Registrars Office or
your adviser.
