The Universitas Sumatera Utara (USU) Undergraduate Program in Forestry has been established since 1999 and is recognized as one of the best forestry study programs in Indonesia, especially on the island of Sumatra. With four main study interests, namely Forest Management, Silviculture, Forest Product Technology, and Forest Resource Conservation, graduates of this program are expected to have the ability to develop science, technology, and art in the management, development, utilization, and preservation of tropical rainforest functions and their ecosystems, especially in the Sumatra region.
With the vast forests in Indonesia, career prospects for graduates of the forestry program are vast and guaranteed. They can work as environmental conservation technicians, geographic information system (GIS) analysts, forest inventory personnel, and various other roles that contribute to the preservation and management of forests and their ecosystems.
