Forest Engineering, Associate of Science
Program Description
The Forestry Program provides graduates with an education in fundamental forestry knowledge, applied field based skills, and professional and ethical behavior in order to be successful professionals assisting in the management of forested ecosystems for a diverse set of landscape objectives which promote environmental, social, and economic values of forests.
Program Outcomes
This UCC program aligns with the programs offered through the OSU College of Forestry Program. UCC students that complete the Forest Engineering AS degree will have the knowledge, skills, and abilities to:
- Apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering
- Use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice
Career Considerations
Foresters and forest managers are concerned with the overall administrative, economic, legal and social aspects and with the essentially scientific and technical aspects, especially silviculture, protection, and forest regulation.

Advising Notes
- MTH 243 transfers for FE major but not for dual FE/CE major. Need MTH265 (statistics with calculus) for dual major
- UCC MTH253 and MTH261 combined transfer as OSU MTH306
