Internship opportunities are available, but preference is given to SFS alumni for these positions. With our focus on the environment, the SFS program is particularly attractive to students interested in environmentally related fields. However, the SFS program has included students from a variety of academic interests - from English to Economics. With our interdisciplinary case study approach to environmental issues, students learn to look at all the issues involved in environmental problems. Regardless of your field of study, the SFS experience can help provide teamwork, analytical, and problem-solving skills valued by employers.
