Students studying Environmental Science and Resource Management (ESRM) learn about natural and human-dominated landscapes and how to apply this knowledge to real-world problems. Bioresource Science and Engineering (BSE) students apply chemical sciences and engineering to manufacturing fiber product, fuels and chemicals from biomass resources. Special degree focus areas are available for ESRM students and degree minors are available in ecological restoration and ESRM.

Our graduate degrees offer a number of different paths that prepare students for careers from academia to public agencies, the private sector to nonprofit organizations. There are two traditional degrees and two non-thesis degrees. We also partner with other programs within the university to offer two concurrent degrees.
Graduate Degrees
Our faculty use engineering and natural, wildlife and social science in their work, which is aimed at developing renewable forest products and stewarding forest and landscape ecosystems for a range of functions and services, and understanding the social, economic and environmental consequences of stewardship and production choices.
The next SEFS Seminar will be presented by Benjamin Sleeter, land use and climate change team lead at the Western Geographic Science Center at the U.S. Geological Survey, who will share, “Effects of 21st century climate, land use and disturbances on ecosystem carbon balance in California.”
The seminar will be held at 3:30 p.m.
Congratulations to the one incoming graduate student, two current graduate students, one incoming undergraduate student and four current undergraduate students who received funding for the 2019-2020 academic year from the UW College of the Environment scholarships and funding!
