Fort Lewis College has formal transfer agreements with Colorado State University (CSU) and Northern Arizona University (NAU) whereby students can complete the first two years of study at Fort Lewis College and then transfer to the other institution for the last two years of professional training. Students then receive a bachelor of science degree in forestry or a related natural resources field from CSU or from NAU.

Students who transfer to CSU can complete a degree in any of the 12 majors/concentrations areas listed at the end of this section. NAU offers a single degree program in Forestry - Concentration in Multiresource Management.
