History of the College

The College of Forestry was founded over 100 years ago with a graduating class of four students.  It has since expanded into currently enrolling over 1000 students, both graduate and undergraduate.  Oregon State University’s College of Forestry is a well-known program outside of the state and has garnered top honors for its efforts.  In 2006, an aggregate of markers led to Oregon State University’s College of Forestry to be tabbed the best in the North America.

The College of Forestry is home to seven majors.  This includes the new Tourism, Recreation, and Adventure Leadership major as well as the Natural Resources ecampus major.  From the College of Forestry, our students can go on to thrive in a variety of careers such as forest management, logging, public affairs, sustainability, engineering, ecotourism, and human resources, among a host of other options.
