Faculty-led programs

Faculty-led programs are conceived and led by CoF faculty. These programs study a specific theme or focus, are eligible for academic credit, and are usually shorter than the length of a term.

Exchange and study abroad

Exchange programs are typically a semester or academic year and integrate students into a host university's academic and student community. Study abroad programs vary in duration and focus and can include intensive language or field studies for single and multiple terms abroad.

Internships and research

International internships allow students to pursue professional-level work experience overseas while receiving academic credit and College of Forestry work experience. Most internships are a minimum of ten weeks in duration, and can take place any time of year. The College of Forestry and partner programs offer internships all over the world.
