M.S.F. (Wood Industries)
Candidates for the Master of Science in Forestry (M.S.F.) with an emphasis in wood industries may major in wood science and technology, forest products, or forest operations. Within these major fields of study, specialization is limited only by the range of competencies in the graduate faculty.
The candidate must complete 30 hours of approved study, six hours of which shall constitute a thesis.
The program ordinarily requires
two years of residence.
Graduate students enrolling in wood science will be excepted to have taken WDSC 223, Wood Anatomy and Structure, WDSC 232, Primary Conversion and Grading, and WDSC 401, Field Trip or their equivalents. (Equivalent courses are similar courses taken at other institutions or at WVU. Equivalency will be determined by the Wood Science faculty based upon the recommendation of the student’s major professor.)
Graduate students are expected to make up deficiencies in undergraduate background as part of their program of study.
The student’s graduate committee may specify other undergraduate courses in Wood Science or related areas that student will be required to take as part of their program.
