Accreditation and Recognition
SAF Accreditation of Educational Programs in Professional Forestry
The Society of American Foresters grants accreditation to specific educational curricula that lead to a first professional degree in forestry at the Bachelor's or Master's level. SAF accredited curricula are periodically reviewed to ensure that they continue to adhere to SAF standards. SAF is recognized as a programmatic accrediting organization by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation.
SAF Recognition of Educational Programs in Forest Technology
The Society of American Foresters grants recognition to educational programs leading to a two-year Associate's degree in forest technology or the equivalent. SAF recognition of educational programs in forest technology is not the equivalent of accreditation of educational programs in professional forestry. SAF recognized curricula are periodically reviewed to ensure that they continue to adhere to the SAF standards. Beginning August 1, 2009, SAF will conduct a program of accreditation for educational programs in forest technology. The details can be found under the link to the handbooks, manuals and other resources on this page below.
