Associate in Applied Science in Forest Technology

Forestry is an exciting and rewarding career field in which practitioners work to solve today’s pressing natural resource and environmental challenges. Forest Technology students become career-ready in two years while studying forest ecology, silviculture, wildlife ecology, geospatial techniques, timber harvesting, and wood science. Students learn how to inventory natural resources, design, plan, and supervise forest harvesting operations, map and survey forest land, develop a forest management plan, and mitigate forest health issues – all while applying principles of conservation and sustainability.
Students in the forest technology program, which is accredited by the Society of American Foresters, spend a lot of time in UNH’s largest “classroom”: the more than 3,000 acres owned and managed by the university. For every hour students spend indoors, they spend two hours immersed in this living laboratory. Students also interact with numerous professionals representing the wide variety of career opportunities in the field of forestry.
After graduating with an associate degree in forest technology, many students choose to hit the woods and begin a rewarding career. Alternatively, qualified students may choose to transfer into UNH’s accredited four-year forestry program, where they can earn a bachelor’s degree in just two additional years of full-time coursework.
