DESCRIPTION:
The School of Forestry offers majors and minors in Forestry, Wildlife Conservation, and Geographic Information Science (GIS). The School also houses Louisiana Tech University's Spatial Data Lab. Students who earn a Bachelor of Science in Forestry (BSF), Wildlife Conservation (BS), or Geographic Information Science (BS) learn skills and philosophies that are very valuable in today's job market.
Mission Statement
The School of Forestry has adopted the following mission statement:
"To enhance the social, ecological and economic value of forest resources for the citizens of Louisiana and the nation through professional education, basic and applied research, and service to the public and various natural resource management professional groups."
Facilities
Louisiana Tech is equipped with several Internet accessible computer labs and a state-of-the-art global positioning system laboratory. Radio-telemetry systems are used in teaching and research to track animal movements. An 80,000 specimen vertebrate museum and 100,000 specimen are available for teaching and research. The near-by Jackson-Bienville Wildlife Management Area along with numerous agricultural and timber tracts managed by Tech provide ample opportunities for field activities.
Field experience is an integral part of wildlife education. The close proximity of North Louisiana's rich and varied environs and Tech's positive relationships with sate and federal wildlife management agencies and private industries provide a unique opportunity for "hands-on" field experience. Student participation in classes at the Marine Gulf Coastal Lab (LUMCON) and internships with state and federal wildlife agencies enhances the learning environment and promotes successful employment after graduation.
