Oregon State University

After spending most of last week and this weekend researching schools, degrees, job available with degree etc. Outlook for future I have settled on Oregon State University. Or at least I'm going to talk to them on Monday morning, most likely apply and see if I'm accepted.

They offer an online program for a BS in Environmental Science. I will have to take all required labs at a school in Denver. For a masters/PhD, I would have to move to Oregon and physically attend. Or decide to go somewhere else. I will deal with that when time comes. The curriculum and degree I would be receiving is the exact same as if I'm physically attending class on campus. They were very clear on the site about that.

Now I have to figure out what direction do I want to go within this degree. I could go the oceanography, zoology, environmental law, forestry, (in that field as we speak), waste water, etc.

I looked at Idaho university, and on their site, they had a list of graduates from their program and the different jobs/positions they are now holding within this field. A lot of the positions caught my eye, in being something I would be interested in doing.

Still lots to do before anything is set in stone but very excited about the first step.

Good luck at the Uni today Shon.
Hubby is a grad of OSU forestry...many years ago. He's 50 years with Forest Service and retiring end of this year. He has little nice to say about Forest Service these days as he's seen a lot of changes, some good, most bad.

Keep all options open w/ regard to a specific area of interest. Don't try to nail one down now, wait until you test the various waters so to speak. You may surprise yourself at what is available and your area of interest.

Corvallis is a nice town, a bit wet and cold in the winter though, but then something has to keep the big trees growing.
:D Good luck! Make sure that wherever you go, you are comfortable with the culture at the University.
