degree from Cornell College and a master's degree from Duke University in
Durham, North Carolina, in either Forestry (M.F.) or Environmental
Management (M.E.M.) after completing three years of study at Cornell and
a minimum of two years of graduate work at Duke. Students should select
a major in the natural or social sciences, economics and business, or
environmental studies, and include courses in botany, calculus,
statistics, and economics. Candidates for this program must also satisfy
the requirements set forth above under ``Degree Programs in
Combination with Professional Schools.''
The Master of Forestry degree program concentrates on forest and associated resources, including woodlands, water, wildlife, and recreation, and their management from an ecological and economic point of view. Graduates are qualified for employment as professional foresters with government agencies, forest industries, and other organizations.
The Master of Environmental Management degree program considers natural
resources in a broader context. The basic objective of this degree is to
develop expertise in planning and administering the management of the
natural environment for maximum human benefit with minimum deterioration
of ecosystem stability. Concentrations include resource ecology,
ecotoxicology and environmental chemistry, water and air resources, and
resource economics and policy. Program Advisor: Robert Black
