      "markdown": "The Forest Science and Management major combines the skills and knowledge to incorporate sustainable production and management to forest ecosystems. This broad-based degree provides a hands-on approach to prepare students for the workforce or for transfer to a four-year institution. In all cases, students should consult with a counselor for more information on university admission and transfer requirements. A certificate is designed to provide career technical skills; it is not equivalent to an associate degree."
