The Major

This is one of the six majors in the Stockbridge School. The specialized courses and faculty advisors for this major are part of NRC. Students learn the principles and practices of tree planting, tree removal, control of insects and diseases, and other aspects of the arborist's profession–and they get first-hand experience with all of these practices. Arborists are employed by cities and towns, commercial tree care services, utility companies, public parks, and golf courses. This program has been approved by arborist associations at the state and national levels.
