JEONBUK NATIONAL UNIVERSITY
About the Department of Forest Environmental Science
Our department is an applied science field where all kinds of productive factors from the forest are dealt with to establish the most ideal forest resources and to achieve effective and rational management of them. By doing so, many contributions will be made to the national economy and protection, public health, recreation and tourism, and so on.

Curriculum
We study various courses such as, Silviculture, Forest Ecology, Forest Protection, Forest Management, Forest Mensuration, Forest Environment Conservation Engineering, Forest Engineering, Forest Policy, Dendrology, Forest Genetics to produce the most competent forest specialists and technology. In addition, fields from silviculture to energy utilization are closely related to human life. As national life is stabilized and improved, the domain of this science needs to be enlarged to strengthen the national economy.
What can I do afterwards
There are many different career options after graduation. They can be grouped into several categories such as, government business, national industry, private industry, and self employed business. In the government business and national industry categories, there are research institutes (Forest Research Inst. and Forest Environment Inst.), Local Forest Management Agencies under the Office of Forestry, Forest Administration positions and Forest Cooperatives, and Nursery Associations in provinces, cities and towns all over the country. In the private industry category, there exist pulp, paper, furniture and seedling related companies. In the final category, there are many creative areas: mountain and field nurseries, landscape tree growing and sale, recreation forests, leisure and tourism, among others.
