 The School, which includes the Departments of Forestry,
Wildlife and Range Sciences, and Fisheries and Aquacul-
ture, offers programs leading to the degrees of Master of
Science, Master of Forest Resources and Conservation
(nonthesis) and Doctor of Philosophy.
 Programs in forest resources and conservation are offered
 inthefollowingareasofspecialization: Forestry-agroforestry,
 biometrics, biotechnology, ecology, economics, genetics,
 hydrology, management, nutrition, pathology, physiology,
 silviculture, soils, and wood products; Wildlife and Range
 Sciences-biology, wildlife diseases, ecology, and man-
 agement; Fisheries and Aquaculture-biology, ecology,
 limnology, genetics, physiology, and management.
 Graduate faculty include personnel with the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service's Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Re-
search Unit, the U.S. Forest Service, other federal and state
agencies, and related departments on campus.
 Graduate students should have appropriate undergradu-
ate training in biological, social, and physical sciences,
including physics, chemistry, and mathematics. Students
with inadequate backgrounds may be required to take
(without credit at the graduate level) undergraduate courses
pertinent to their field of interest.
 All graduate students are required to assist in teaching a
course once (master's students) or twice (Ph.D. students
who have not previously held a teaching assistantship)
during the first two years of their programs.
 The following courses in related areas will be acceptable
for graduate credit as part of the candidate's major:
