Wood Science
Northcentral Technical College
The Wood Science Associate Degree program is designed to provide learners with a holistic educational experience of the entire forest products industry and build an understanding of the potential of wood products enhancing our society. Throughout a balanced post-secondary program, learners will discover all the opportunities, skills, and technologies involved from a tree being harvested to making and selling finished products. Learners will also gain appreciation for what makes wood such a unique and sustainable material. Subjects include primary and secondary manufacturing, advanced industrial technology, sawmill operations, business and product development, and woodworking. The program is provided through combined hands-on instruction at NTC’s Wood Technology Center of Excellence in Antigo, Wisconsin, and via remote learning. Multiple embedded certificate options and a one-year technical diploma are also available for learners to explore these subject areas. Show More

PLEASE NOTE:

If there are fewer than eight enrollments in the training program, only the "Enrollments" number will be displayed; all other data is hidden in order to help protect the students' identities. The "Employment Outcomes" are calculated using information from Wisconsin's Unemployment Insurance Wage database. Most employers are required to report certain employment information to the State of Wisconsin, including quarterly wage information for their employees. Students whose information could not be verified in this database are excluded from these outcomes. If a "0" shows for any of these outcomes, it means that none of the students' information could be verified.

MAKING SENSE OF THE EMPLOYMENT OUTCOMES:

"Average quarterly wages" means the total wages earned in a three-month period by all students who completed the program ("completers"), divided by the total number of completers.

"Median quarterly wages" means all the completers' quarterly wages are placed in order from lowest to highest and then we identify the student's wages in the middle. This information is provided because averages can be greatly influenced by really high and low wage earners.

To estimate monthly wages, divide the quarterly wages by three.
