    Make a living out of working in the woods. Learn about the possibilities in this hands-on career from Issac Cherry, recent UCC Forestry graduate, and intern at Lone Rock Resources.

    UCC works closely with Oregon State University (OSU) so that students can dual-enroll, pursue any degree that OSU offers, reap cost savings, and benefit from access to more scholarships and services.
