Dual-Degree in Environmental
Sciences and Natural Resources
- Forestry |
|
This
program allows an undergraduate student to attend
The University of West Alabama for approximately
three years and then transfer to the School of
Forestry at Auburn University. In order for a
student to become a Dual-Degree candidate at Auburn
University, he or she must have a recommendation
from the Dean of the College of Natural Sciences and
Mathematics at The University of West Alabama, have
a 3.0 grade point average in the required work at
UWA, and satisfy the admission requirements of the
School of Forestry at Auburn University. After
completing the academic requirements of the two
cooperating institutions, the student will be
awarded a Bachelor of Environmental Sciences from
The University of West Alabama and a Master of Science in Forestry from Auburn University. |

brings the dual degree program that we offer in conjunction
with Auburn University in line with the natural resources
track within the environmental sciences degree. |
This change
will likely take students out of the pre-forestry and
pre-wildlife programs. Neither of these programs currently
have more than two students and the new dual-degree program
will keep them at UWA for approximately an additional year. |
