work. Many young men obtain part of this experience through sum- 

 mer-school camps and some get it through field work during summer 

 vacation periods in a Federal or State forest, a conservation organiza- 

 tion, or in the employ of a lumber company. Men who plan to spe- 

 cialize in lumbering find several years of work in logging camps and 

 mills valuable in learning the practical details of the business. 



SCHOOLS OF FORESTRY 



Courses leading to degrees in forestry are offered in nearly 30 insti- 

 tutions. Many other colleges also include forestry in their curricula, 

 the instruction being given on a nonprofessional basis as supple- 

 mentary training in other degree courses. Enrollment of under- 

 graduates in the forestry schools in the United States prior to World 

 War II totaled more than 6,000. Figures from the forestry schools in- 

 dicated that about 500 degrees were being granted annually, and the 

 number of professional foresters had reached a total of more than 

 6,000. 



The following list of institutions offering courses in forestry has 

 been compiled by the Forest Service. In most cases, a 4-year course 

 is offered, leading to a degree of Bachelor of Science in Forestry. 

 Several universities provide graduate instruction leading to Master of 

 Forestry and doctorate degrees. As a Government agency, the Forest 

 Service is not in a position to express an opinion as to the relative 

 merits of the schools or their courses. Information concerning entrance 

 requirements, tuition, etc., can be obtained by applying directly to the 

 institution. A list of the schools rated as accredited forestry schools 

 by the Council of the Society of American Foresters can be obtained 

 from the Society's headquarters, 825 Mills Building, Washington 6, D. C.
