BS in Forest Engineering/BS in Civil Engineering

The Forest Engineering-Civil Engineering program results in a BS degree in Forest Engineering and a BS degree in Civil Engineering. The BS degree in Forest Engineering and the BS degree in Civil Engineering are both accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, . The BS in Forest Engineering is also accredited by the Society of American Foresters. This unique five-year, double degree program is offered in cooperation with the School of Civil and Construction Engineering. This program begins with basic science and mathematics and progresses on through engineering science and forest science to arrive at professional-level courses in forest engineering that include surveying, soil and water resources, timber harvesting, operations analysis, road design, and planning. Graduates are eligible to take the Fundamentals of Engineering Examination.

In addition to the listed courses, all students are required to complete a total of six months of satisfactory employment in an area related to their major. This is usually accomplished by two or more summers of work, but it may include work during the academic year.

Pre-Professional Program

Admission to the pre-professional forest engineering program requires that a student is admitted as a degree-seeking undergraduate or post-baccalaureate student at Oregon State University. Courses included in the first and second years comprise a pre-professional program of study that produces a solid foundation for professional program studies at the junior and senior levels. The pre-professional program may be taken at Oregon State University or at any accredited college or university that offers equivalent courses transferable to OSU.

Professional Program

Students must be admitted to the professional forest engineering program following completion of the pre-professional forest engineering course work in order to progress to the junior year in forest engineering. Students should consult the College of Engineering for requirements of the Civil Engineering program.

Enrollment in professional forest engineering program courses is restricted to those students who have clearly demonstrated an ability to achieve the standards required for professional studies. The number of students admitted to the program is based on available resources. Students meeting the minimum pre-forest engineering GPA of 2.25 may or may not be admitted depending on available resources
