 International
Students and faculty members from the College of Forestry
and Conservation are engaged internationally with a wide range of partners.
About 70% of the College’s faculty members have substantive international
experience and many of our graduates are internationally engaged.
Over the past several years faculty members and students have been engaged
in important work in Sweden and Finland, southern Africa, Canada, Mexico,
Belize, Argentina, Chile, Indonesia, Mongolia, China, and other countries
and regions. As examples of undergraduate student engagement in
international activities, during the summer of 2005 one student studied
in Costa Rica with the Organization for Tropical Studies and another participated
in a National Science Foundation project, funded through Michigan State
University, in China. Graduate students recently have been involved
in Fulbright Fellowship assignments in Nepal and Sweden and many other
assignments through the College’s
International Conservation and Development Program.  UM is one of the
leading suppliers of personnel for thePeace Corps, especially through
the Master’s
International Program.
Exchange
opportunities have been arranged with many other universities.
In addition, College faculty members have led student trips to South America’s
Patagonia Region and southern Africa in recent years and field excursions
are being added to Australia, New Zealand, and
Fiji.
If you have an interest in the international aspects of environmental
and natural resource conservation and management, the College of Forestry
and Conservation is a great place.
We have an internationally oriented faculty, graduate and undergraduate
students from many countries, and opportunities for international exchanges,
special programs, and research.
