 The School, which includes the Departments of
Forestry, Wildlife and Range Sciences, and Fisheries
and Aquaculture, offers programs leading to the de-
grees of Master of Science, Master of Forest Resources
and Conservation (nonthesis), and Doctor of Philoso-
phy.
 Programs are.offered in the following areas of spe-
cialization: Forestry-biometrics, biotechnology,
ecology, economics, genetics, hydrology, manage-
ment, nutrition, pathology, physiology, silviculture,
soils, and wood products; Wildlife and Range Sci-
ences -biology, wildlife diseases, ecology, and man-
agement; Fisheries and Aquaculture-biology, ecol-
ogy, limnology, and management.
 Graduate faculty include personnel with the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service's Cooperative Fish and Wild-
life Research Unit, the U.S. Forest Service, other feder-
al and state agencies, and related departments on
campus.
 Graduate students should have appropriate under-
graduate training in biological, social, and physical
sciences, including physics, chemistry, and mathemat-
ics. Students with inadequate backgrounds may be
required to take (without credit at the graduate level)
undergraduate courses pertinent to their field of in-
terest.

ceptable for graduate credit as part of the candidate's
