| With the increasing focus on environmental conservation on our planet, the going green movement and concern over climate change and global warming, no field more demonstrates the vital need for international experience. With diverse landscapes, creatures and ecosystems as different as the continents and countries they inhabit, a study abroad experience in this field is just the ticket any student can do to gain a global environmental perspective, help the planet and also help themselves to potential environment-focused careers. Now, more than any time in the past, employers are seeking candidates with a global viewpoint, international experience and understanding of other cultures and peoples. Whether you choose a semester or year abroad, undertake an internship, pursue a graduate degree or even take a summer short course, you’ll not only give yourself a significant advantage career-wise, but you will also have a once-in-a-lifetime experience that’s never more in reach than during your college years. | "I learned a lot about how Australia governs and handles environmental problems and laws. I had no previous knowledge about these issues. My study abroad experience has helped me in the field and I have already been able to adapt this knowledge to my current uni classes in The States." N.
