The educational programs in Forest Management, Recreation Resource Management, and Master of Forestry
leading to the first professional degrees in forestry of the B.S. and M.F. are accredited by the Society
of American Foresters (SAF). SAF is the specialized accrediting agency recognized by the Council of Higher
Education Accreditation as the accrediting agency for forestry in the United States. All three professional
degree programs bridge social and natural sciences and teach students how to manage natural resources for
all the varied products and values we desire from our forests and other wildlands.
