The mission of the Department of Forestry, Wildlife and Fisheries (FWF) is to advance the science and sustainable management of natural resources to promote their health, utilization, and appreciation in Tennessee, the region and beyond through programs in teaching, research and extension.
The department offers two majors. The major in forestry leads to the Bachelor of Science in Forestry and the major in wildlife and fisheries science leads to the Bachelor of Science in Wildlife and Fisheries Science. The forestry major has concentrations in forest resources management and wildland recreation. The wildlife and fisheries science major has concentrations in wildlife and fisheries management and wildlife health.
Enrollment Management Plan
All majors in the Department of Forestry, Wildlife and Fisheries must submit an application for progression with relevant career goals, names of three references, work experience (both volunteer and paid positions) related to natural resources and service and professional activities, and a transcript before registering for junior classes.
To be considered for progression into the upper division of the program, applicants must have submitted all required documents (application form, resume, and transcript) by a March 15 deadline late in the spring semester.
Those students who have met all preliminary requirements for progression, including having relevant career goals, will be ranked based on the combined score of their cumulative grade point average (GPA) and GPA in core courses. The combined score will be 50% cumulative GPA (minimum 2.2) and 50% cumulative GPA (minimum 2.2) in core courses. Applicants with the highest scores will be accepted into the programs. The number of applicants accepted into each program will be determined based on resources available. Applicants will be notified of their acceptance by the start of registration for summer semester.
Applicants who are not accepted into the program and who believe that extenuating circumstances prevented their acceptance into the program may appeal the decision to a faculty committee (i.e., S.A.C.). A written statement in which the case is made for acceptance is required for all applicants. It must be submitted within one week of the rejection notice.
Appellants receiving a positive response from the appeals committee will be accepted into programs on a provisional basis through the first semester of their junior year. The progress of provisional students will be reviewed at the end of the fall semester. At that time, they will either be fully admitted or released from the program.
Core Courses
Students must have completed or be enrolled in all core courses by the end of the semester in which they apply for acceptance into upper-division courses. They must complete all core courses before entering upper-division courses. They will also need the prerequisites to the individual upper-division courses.
Forestry
Two courses in first year composition (ENGL 101 and ENGL 102 or equivalent); calculus (MATH 125 or equivalent); general chemistry (CHEM 100 or equivalent); two courses in general botany (BIOL 111 and BIOL 112 or equivalent); general economics (ECON 201 or equivalent); public speaking (CMST 210 or CMST 240 or equivalent); statistics (STAT 201 or equivalent); ecology (FORS 215 or BIOL 250 or equivalent).
Wildlife and Fisheries Science
Two courses in first year composition (ENGL 101 and ENGL 102 or equivalent); calculus (MATH 125 or equivalent); two courses in general chemistry (CHEM 100 /CHEM 130 or CHEM 100 /CHEM 110 or equivalent); two courses in general biology (BIOL 130 /BIOL 140 or BIOL 101 /BIOL 102 or equivalent); general economics (ECON 201 or equivalent); public speaking (CMST 210 or CMST 240 or equivalent); statistics (STAT 201 or equivalent); microcomputer applications (AGNR 290 or equivalent); general ecology (BIOL 250 or equivalent).
