The Master of Forest Conservation (MFC) is a course-intensive, 16-month professional graduate program offered by the John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design at the University of Toronto, accredited by the Canadian Forestry Accreditation Board. The program covers sustainable forest management, urban forestry, forest economics, forest governance and policy, forest and wildlife conservation biology, and silviculture, alongside current issues in forest conservation. Students complete a three-month internship with an organization aligned with their interests, and may take an optional international field course to destinations such as Malaysia, Brazil, the western United States, Scandinavia, China, or Spain. Class sizes are kept small. Graduates are prepared for careers requiring registration as a Registered Professional Forester (RPF). Admission requires an appropriate bachelor's degree from a recognized university with an average of at least mid-B in each of the final two years, typically with a background in ecology, environmental sciences, forestry, natural sciences, biology, physical geography, geology, agricultural science, or a relevant social science. The program also offers extended full-time and part-time enrollment options.
