The Forest Science (Specialization in International Forestry) program places the biology and dynamics of forest ecosystems within a global perspective of how forests function throughout the world. Students study the same basic sciences as with the regular Forest Sciences program, but also incorporate the study of a second language and learn the cultural context in which forestry is practiced. They also have the opportunity to gain both academic and first hand knowledge of forest ecosystems outside of British Columbia by studying abroad.

Enrolment in the Forest Science (Specialization in International Forestry) program is limited. Students can apply to the program after completing 21 credits from the first-year courses (or their equivalent) of the Forest Science program. To apply for admission, students are required to have a minimum academic standing of 70%.
