Students must earn a C grade or better in each course.
Potential accreditation as a certified forester by the Society of American Foresters will require completion of the following NRM courses: NRM F251, NRM F440, NRM F450, NRM F452 and NRM F453 in combination with the NRM B.S. degree. Prerequisites required for the courses listed are part of the NRM degree program, but students from other programs will be required to complete the prerequisites specified for individual classes.
