Overview

The Forestry program at University of Wisconsin Madison takes pride in its outstanding research reputation and the success of graduates working throughout the world.

Features

The wildlife ecology program was founded by Aldo Leopold in 1939, and has maintained his vision and legacy of excellence in current research and graduate training activities.

Leopold's career spanned two professions, forestry and wildlife conservation, so the program strives to maintain excellence in both fields.

Programme Structure

Curriculum:

The Forestry Ph.D. prescribes no specific graduate coursework due to the diversity of research areas available, and students select appropriate graduate-level coursework in consultation with their advisor and a graduate advisory committee.

However, there are still some minimum requirements that need to be met by all Forestry Ph.D. students.
