One Year University Transfer Program:

For the most current university program and transfer information, see Planning Guides in Academic Advising.

A growing interest in forest management, resource management, and preservation of the natural ecology means an increasing number of jobs in the field of Forestry. There are jobs in many federal and provincial government agencies. Typical jobs include:

• silviculture
• reforestation
• forest tree improvement
• forest management
• fire control
• forest research

RDC offers a modified first year of study that provides credit for the first year of BSc Forestry.

The courses in this program can be transferred in full to BSc Forestry at University of Alberta. Note that this recommended program does not correspond exactly with the first year at University of Alberta (some courses are from subsequent years in the program). Refer to the University of Alberta calendar for the complete listing of courses under the Faculty of Agricultural, Life, and Environmental Sciences.
