MSU UEF Forestry Student Exchange Program

The Michigan State University (MSU) Department of Forestry is excited to announce a new undergraduate exchange program, partnering with the University of Eastern Finland (UEF). A group of forestry students from MSU will travel to Finland to study forestry for a semester, while a similar group of forestry students from UEF will join the MSU forestry program in the U.S. for a semester.

UEF Forest Sciences and MSU Forestry share many values, strong core forestry programs, and complementarity in specialized areas of forestry. Both institutions emphasize:

The vital role of forests and interdisciplinary solutions to global sustainability challenges.
International experiences as transformative to personal growth and scientific progress.
The importance of forests in providing a wide range of ecosystem services to humanity (e.g., products, climate regulation, recreation and wellness, and biodiversity).
Practical experience in managing forest resources sustainably.
Student-centered and immersive field-based learning.
Teaching that is informed by current research from research- active faculty.
