We devote 100% of our time to learning and working with students and faculty who are passionate about the outdoors and who want to make a difference in the natural resource sector. We instill within our graduates a land ethic that will guide them in their interactions with clients, employers, colleagues, and the environment in which they work.
MCFT has graduated over 3,300 students since 1946, and continues to produce quality graduates primed for work in the natural resource sector.
