COLLEGE OF FORESTRY, OREGON STATE UNIVERSITY

We aspire to be the world's premier forest resources education, research, and service institution.

The mission of the College of Forestry, as part of Oregon's Land, Sea, and Space Grant University, is to educate and engage the next generation of scholars, practitioners, and users of the world's forest resources, to conduct distinctive problem-solving and fundamental research on the nature and use of forests and related resources, and to share our discoveries and knowledge with others.

Core values are essential and enduring tenets held by the faculty, staff, students, and administrators of the College of Forestry. These values express our aspirations and our fundamental reason for being:

Oregon State University's College of Forestry has been educating professionals for a century. We've earned a reputation as a world-class center of teaching and learning about forests and related resources. We offer undergraduate and graduate degrees in three departments, Forest Engineering, Resources & Management, Forest Ecosystems & Society, and Wood Science and Engineering. We also jointly offer several interdisciplinary programs. We operate about 14, 000 acres of College Forests, most of it within minutes of campus. Oregon State University is a Land Grant, Sea Grant, and Space Grant university, an NCAA Division I university, and a member of the Pac-10 athletic conference. It is the only Oregon school, and one of just 88 nationwide, to carry the prestigious ranking of a Carnegie Research I institution.
