Abstract

A review of the curricula of the accredited and affiliated forestry schools in the United States reveals a change in trends reported in 1969. The trend toward increased requirements in social sciences and humanities, management of nontimber aspects, and business has reversed, as has the trend toward reduction of traditional forestry courses. Emphasis on quantitative reasoning continues to increase.
