BA/BS in Ingenieria Forestal

Ingeniería Forestal builds a technical and scientific base for interventions in the natural environment, with attention to their economic, legal, environmental and social effects. Students learn to establish and manage forests that supply timber and non-timber goods. The training also covers fire, pest and disease protection, soil and forest conservation, land planning with geographic information systems, forest biotechnology and wood processing. Licentiate holders may pursue postgraduate study alongside courses leading to the professional title. Entry to the program runs through the national university admission process (PAES), in which each test is given its own weighting and applicants must reach a minimum weighted score to apply. The published length of study is 5 years. The page also gives the Demre admission code, the number of places and the recent cutoff scores, which applicants can use to judge their chances. Annual tuition and a separate enrolment charge are listed, together with an internal university grant for students who do not receive state free tuition (gratuidad).
