B.S. in Forest and Natural Resource Management

The Forest & Natural Resource Management (FNRM) major focuses on forest management, conservation, parks, urban forestry, and the environment. Field sessions, top faculty, small class sizes, and a big reputation make this a great major for those who love the outdoors and want a career in natural resources. The FNRM major is the only four-year program in Minnesota that is accredited by the Society of American Foresters (Forest Ecosystem Management & Conservation and Urban & Community Forestry tracks).

Our students are the next generation of experts and professionals in forestry, conservation, urban forestry, parks, recreation, and more.

The FNRM major is based on the St. Paul campus of the University of Minnesota—Twin Cities. Many students enjoy the small, welcoming feel of St. Paul campus while also benefiting from the many amazing opportunities that come along with being part of a larger University. We highly recommend a visit to campus so you can see for yourself what it's like here and to meet our friendly faculty, staff, and students.

We are committed to helping our students and we offer scholarships to all incoming students in the FNRM major. Award amounts vary, and we guarantee a base scholarship to each new student in their first year. Students can apply for additional scholarships in subsequent years, and many students receive significant support throughout their undergraduate career.
