OBJECTIVES

The goals of the College revolve around its three-foldfunction of instruction, research and extension. These aretranslated into the following objectives:

1. to train people in the proper management,conservation, and utilization of the country’s forestresources in order to meet the demand of high-quality human resource in forestry and environmentalconcerns;

2. to conduct researches to support national thrustsin forestry and environment;

3. to carry out public education and informationcampaigns to disseminate forestry and environmentaltechnologies;

4. to assist the government in forestry and environmentpolicy formulation through the conduct of relevantstudies; and

5. to provide leadership in charting the direction offorestry education in the country.

DEGREE PROGRAMS

The UPLB College of Forestry and Natural Resourcesoffers a sub-professional course, a course in the baccalaureatelevel, two master's degree programs and a doctor of philosophyprogram:

1. Certificate in Forestry is a two-year non-degreeprogram which offers a complete, responsive and relevantcurricular model that addresses the needs of the forestrysector. It emphasizes the basic technical skills required forthe production of graduates capable of assisting professionalforesters in the implementation of regulatory and developmentalfunctions of the profession.

2. The Bachelor of Science in Forestry degree is afour-year curricular program that provides the students witha strong background in the various aspects of forestry. Thedegree offers six fields of specialization from whichundergraduate forestry students can choose in their thirdyear: Forest and Environmental Resources Management,Forest Biological Sciences, Silviculture and Agroforestry,Social Forestry, Forest Products and Forest and NaturalResources Governance. As a requirement to finish thedegree, any majoring student can either opt to work on anundergraduate thesis or to undergo the forestry summerpracticum.
