Forest Resources Management
Associate of Science
Catalog 2007-08
MHCC Faculty Advisor:
Joan DeYoung: 503-491-7322 - Room AC 2569 Joan.DeYoung@mhcc.edu
Opportunities to study Forest Management, Forest Engineering, Forest Recreation,
Natural Resources or Forest Products exist at many universities throughout the
United States and Canada. Specific requirements for transfer will vary from
institution to institution, but in general, most programs require a year of
Biology, a year of Chemistry and Mathematics through Calculus.
The following is a two-year transfer guide for the Forest Resources Management
degree at Oregon State University. Students completing this curriculum will
earn an A.S. degree from MHCC. This curriculum satisfies lower division general
education requirements for the B.S. in Forest Resources Management at OSU. Please
see an adviser if you are interested in a related degree or alternate college.
Curricular Outcomes
At the completion of this curriculum, the student should be able to:
- perform forest inventory field tasks required of natural resource technicians
- use a broad range of technological tools to research, document, map, measure,
record and analyze data relevant to natural resources
- demonstrate knowledge of social influences on ecosystem management.
Please note: Oregon State University is currently revising their Forest
Management degree requirements. Please check with an advisor for current information.

1 This curriculum assumes placement into MTH111. Students may have to adjust
the curriculum if starting at a lower math level.
2 FT122 and FT221 together satisfy the requirements for FOR220 Aerial Photo
Interpretation and Forest Measurements.
3 Refer to Associate of Science degree requirements, pages 11-12.
4 For appropriate liberal arts courses to meet OSU baccalaureate core, see a
faculty adviser, refer to the OSU Baccalaureate Core web site: http://catalog.oregonstate.edu/bcc.aspx,
or run a MHCC DARS audit report.
5 WR227 and CIS120L are MHCC requirements for the A.S. degree, but are not required
by OSU. Students wishing to forgo the A.S. degree may substitute F200, Introduction
to Forest Surveying for these two courses (taught spring quarter) It transfers
as OSU’s FE308.
