The Forest Products department first appeared in the college catalog for the 1952-1953 school year. The department had previously been called the Department of Wood Utilization in the conservation division of the College of Agriculture. In 1957, the packaging curriculum separated from the Department of Forest Products. The Department of Forest Products last appeared in the college catalog in 1969.
