Education
The Center for Forest Business offers a graduate-level educational program leading to a Master of Forest Resources (MFR) in Forest Business Management. Master of Science (MS) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) programs are also offered.
The MFR in Forest Business is designed to help students develop the necessary skills for positions of leadership in forest operations management, timberland investing, or education in the private or public sector. This degree program
combines the principles of:
- Finance
- Economics
- Leadership
- Marketing
- Silviculture
- Mensuration
- Statistics
- Operations Research
Thanks to a unique partnership, all business courses are taken through the University of Georgia’s Terry College of Business.
In addition to rigorous academic preparation, our students participate in a range of formative experiences including internships, forestry operations tours, and forest investment conferences. Many of these opportunities are international, reflecting the global nature of today’s forest business environment.
Assistantships are available for qualified students. An assistantship provides a stipend as well as a tuition waiver. To learn more, contact Joe Parsons at +1.706.389.8424 or joseph.parsons@uga.edu.
