About: For almost 100 years, the College of Forest Resources at the University of Washington has been creating responsible stewards of our land and resources.

Understanding sustainability is a key theme in the College, as we go into a century of conflicting needs; we need energy, but we also need to preserve the environment; we need land for building, but we also need to preserve habitat. The College offers a small classroom environment, with close association with faculty, while at the same time offering the diversity, excitement and excellent facilities of a large research University. The College offers seven undergraduate majors leading to a Bachelor of Science in Forest Resources, and twelve graduate and doctorate programs. Request Information
