National Association of University Forest Resources Programs
NAUFRP's purpose is to advance the health, productivity, and sustainability of America's forests by providing university-based natural resource education, research, science, extension and international programs.
Council of Eastern Forest Technician Schools (CEFTS)
CEFTS was founded with the overall goal of improving the quality of Forest Technician education by facilitating the exchange of information and ideas among CEFTS members, fostering productive relationships between academic institutions and individual instructors, promoting consistency and academic integrity among the member institutions and representing the interests of its members to the Society of American Foresters.
Food and Agricultural Education Information System (FAEIS)
FAEIS compiles nationwide higher education data for the life, food, veterinary, human, natural resource, and agricultural sciences. These data include student enrollment, degrees awarded and placement at all degree levels. Examples of information that may be obtained from the FAEIS reporting system are shown in the two documents below.
The Natural Resources Distance Learning Consortium
The Consortium provides upper-division undergraduate and graduate distance learning education to anyone interested in Natural Resources and managing their uses. Initially developed by Virginia Tech and the US Forest Service to deliver courses to web-based learners, particularly those at non-campus locations, the portal has expanded to include web-based courses from many natural resource programs, from Land Grant, MacIntire-Stennis designated, and other universities and is continually developing, evolving and being strengthened by interaction between Consortium members, students and inquiring (prospective) individuals.
Peace Corps: Master's International
Master's International has made the truly unique opportunity of complementing a master's degree with overseas service. Master's International addresses the first goal of the Peace Corps: to help the people of interested countries meet their need for trained men and women. Master's International students serve in over 70 countries and participate in every aspect of life overseas. Prospective students apply simultaneously to the Peace Corps and their participating graduate school. With the advantage of actually implementing some of their ideas and applied theory to practice while living overseas, students return to finish their graduate course work or begin their career. Students return with a world view and the skills and education to change that world.
