Forestry (OSU Transfer) Emphasis - Associate of Science (AS)
Description
The Associate of Science Forestry (OSU Transfer) Emphasis is intended to fulfill many lower-division requirements of the Bachelor of Science in Forest Management from Oregon State University. Other universities’ requirements for a forest management degree may be similar, and course requirements for other forestry majors will differ. Students planning to transfer to any university forestry program should meet with a forest resources technology advisor to discuss transfer requirements.

No more than two courses (or lecture/lab combinations) from any one department may be used by a student to satisfy the Perspectives category of the core. GEO courses listed under Physical Science are considered to be from a different department than GEO courses listed under any other Perspective category.
Advising Notes
It is recommended that a student also takeFOR 251Recreational Resource ManagementandBI 212Principles of Biology. Though it is not included as an Associate of Science requirement, students will need to meet the Difference, Power and Discrimination requirement at OSU and could use COCC courses to meet it.
Performance Standards
- Academic Requirements:
- Students must have a 2.0 cumulative GPA to earn a COCC certificate or degree.
- All courses in the program must be completed with a grade of C or higher.
