FIELD STUDY AND INTERNSHIP PROGRAM
Successful applicants to IFE’s Field Study and Internship Programs are those who combine the following qualifications:

1. A strong scholastic record (e.g. 3.00+ grade point average) demonstrating the ability to assimilate large quantities of material, to think synthetically and analytically, and to carry out independent research.

2.The French language competence needed to enroll in IFE’s Field Study and Internship Programs includes:
 the ability to present oneself and express some ideas in French
 good reading and oral comprehension; the ability to understand a lecture in French
 an intermediate level of written expressions

3. The personal and intellectual maturity to survive and to thrive in an intense, cross-cultural experience. Values, assumptions, and viewpoints may be called into question at the same time that a student is expected to respond to a work environment. Virtually all IFE placements call on a student’s ability to work within a group structure with individuals who may well be quite different from the student and from those to whom the student is accustomed.
