Students who live in or around Corvallis, Oregon may pursue the Natural Resources degree on the beautiful campus of Oregon State University.
Getting Started
Both new and transfer students are required to particpate in a LAUNCH session that will help them get oriented to the college and program. The link below has the schedule and detailed information about LAUNCH sessions.
SCHEDULES COMING SOON!
You will meet with an Academic Advisor each term to receive a PIN number for registration and to plan your academic program. Your advisor will be assigned to you after you attend a LAUNCH session.
Evaluation of Prior Coursework
Don't worry if your previous courswork is not on your OSU transcript yet or has not been evaluated by an advisor. There is plenty of OSU coursework you need for the NR degree that will not duplicate your previous work. It can take up to 6 weeks for the Admissions Department to review your records. Please note that an Advanced Standing Report will not be generated by Admissions until you pay the Advanced Tuition Deposit.
Once you Advisor has evaluated your transcripts any applicable transfer work will be noted in MyDegrees, our online degree audit system. Students can petition to have prior or future courses count towards fulfilling specific requirements in the Natural Resources program. You will need to complete a Petition for Course Substitution for each course you are petitioning and submit this to your Academic Advisor.
If you are petitioning for a course to fulfill a Baccalaureate Core or CORE ED (coming in summer 2025) you can submit it through the online form.
Transfer Credit Petition for Baccalaureate Core
In addition to our award winning faculty you will also have access to a comprehensive list of student services and facilities. You will want to bookmark and thoroughly review the information on the College of Forestry Student Services webpage which includes information on scholarships, employment, international programs and internships.
