                                      Summer 2008 Master’s Students’ Internships

                    Each summer our Master’s Degree students undertake internships and research
                    projects domestically and around the world. Typical internships occur between the
                    first and second years of the program; occasionally internships last for longer than
                    the summer. Some students undertake multiple experiences. This list shows the rich
                    and diverse internships that F&ES students had in the summer of 2008.
