| Summary: | This report documents historically the impact of postsecondary forestry and forest-products educational programs in the southern United States. Samples of programs described concentrate on programs that appear to have had an effect on the economy, the resource, or policy. The report discusses the impacts of two types of institutions: the 16 southern universities and colleges offering professional degree programs at the bachelor's or higher levels in forestry and forest-products fields; and 14 community colleges, junior colleges, and other institutions offering 2-year programs at the associate degree level. The report discusses organization of the programs, fields offered, cooperative relationships, program impacts, resident instruction, contribution to the South's professional work force, development of university programs, unique professional degree programs, production of top leaders, training programs for forestry and forest-products technicians, research, case examples of benefits from university research, extension programs, continuing education, and public service. A list of 57 cited published sources, 24 cited unpublished sources, and 60 interviews and letters concludes the report. (JDD) |
