Our School of Record
Our courses are accredited through our School of Record (SOR), the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities (U of M). U of M utilizes the following criteria in determining the appropriateness of acting as SOR for a select number of educational partners:
- The program must be one the University of Minnesota actively uses and supports for University of Minnesota students.
- The program must be one the University has confidence in and experience with, as well as a stake in the academic content and quality of the programs.
- The program must have appropriate oversight mechanisms in place, such as advisory boards or councils and review processes.
All SFS courses—while often non-traditional in delivery –are developed and reviewed in accordance with our SOR and the Forum on Education Abroad’s Standards of Good Practice for Education Abroad.
[third_section] =>
SOR Program Reviews
Our School of Record conducts a thorough program review at one of our Centers every 5-7 years. This process includes a review of the history, mission, governing structure, academic policies, health and safety protocols, student participation information, as well as all information available to prospective, admitted, and enrolled students. Onsite at the Center, the review team meets with SFS faculty and staff, observes classes across the curriculum, participates in course field trips, and takes part in student meetings to gain additional feedback.
Our SOR joined us most recently in December of 2019 at the SFS Center for Wildlife, Water, and Climate Resilience in Kenya.
[fourth_section] =>
Institutional Partners Council
The SFS Institutional Partners Council helps uphold our consistent record of academic quality in the changing field of environmental study abroad. The Council advises SFS on program development, environmental and scientific issues, and trends in academia.
Current members includes:
- Kristy Blue | University of San Diego | Study Abroad Manager
- Mark Eckman | University of Massachusetts, Amherst | Director of Education Abroad
- Jill Reister | University of Minnesota, Twin Cities | Assistant Director of Programming
- Derek Smallwood | Colorado State University | International Risk Manager
- Christina Stoiciu | Williams College | Director, International Education and Study Away
- Meredith Wilson | Clemson University | Director of Education Abroad

[first_section] =>
Just as the scientific community relies on a peer-review process to maintain standards of quality, SFS depends on our colleagues to ensure that our programs meet the highest academic and institutional standards.
Through our School of Record, formal program reviews, a diverse Advisory Committee, and publicly available student evaluations, we offer a transparent assurance of quality.
[fifth_section] =>
Student Evaluations
We encourage our alumni to submit program evaluations to popular websites such as
Abroad101,
GoAbroad.com, and
Go Overseas. These portals allow prospective students to learn about the SFS experience from one of their peers. These reviews are not edited or vetted by SFS, and taken together illuminate the full SFS experience.
SFS students also complete anonymous program evaluations before leaving their SFS program. These evaluations are closely reviewed by the SFS Office of Academic Affairs and the Center staff.

Our School of Record
Our courses are accredited through our School of Record (SOR), the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities (U of M). U of M utilizes the following criteria in determining the appropriateness of acting as SOR for a select number of educational partners:
- The program must be one the University of Minnesota actively uses and supports for University of Minnesota students.
- The program must be one the University has confidence in and experience with, as well as a stake in the academic content and quality of the programs.
- The program must have appropriate oversight mechanisms in place, such as advisory boards or councils and review processes.
All SFS courses—while often non-traditional in delivery –are developed and reviewed in accordance with our SOR and the Forum on Education Abroad’s Standards of Good Practice for Education Abroad.
[third_section] =>
SOR Program Reviews
Our School of Record conducts a thorough program review at one of our Centers every 5-7 years. This process includes a review of the history, mission, governing structure, academic policies, health and safety protocols, student participation information, as well as all information available to prospective, admitted, and enrolled students. Onsite at the Center, the review team meets with SFS faculty and staff, observes classes across the curriculum, participates in course field trips, and takes part in student meetings to gain additional feedback.
Our SOR joined us most recently in December of 2019 at the SFS Center for Wildlife, Water, and Climate Resilience in Kenya.
[fourth_section] =>
Institutional Partners Council
The SFS Institutional Partners Council helps uphold our consistent record of academic quality in the changing field of environmental study abroad. The Council advises SFS on program development, environmental and scientific issues, and trends in academia.
Current members includes:
- Kristy Blue | University of San Diego | Study Abroad Manager
- Mark Eckman | University of Massachusetts, Amherst | Director of Education Abroad
- Jill Reister | University of Minnesota, Twin Cities | Assistant Director of Programming
- Derek Smallwood | Colorado State University | International Risk Manager
- Christina Stoiciu | Williams College | Director, International Education and Study Away
- Meredith Wilson | Clemson University | Director of Education Abroad

Just as the scientific community relies on a peer-review process to maintain standards of quality, SFS depends on our colleagues to ensure that our programs meet the highest academic and institutional standards.
Through our School of Record, formal program reviews, a diverse Advisory Committee, and publicly available student evaluations, we offer a transparent assurance of quality.
[fifth_section] =>
Student Evaluations
We encourage our alumni to submit program evaluations to popular websites such as
Abroad101,
GoAbroad.com, and
Go Overseas. These portals allow prospective students to learn about the SFS experience from one of their peers. These reviews are not edited or vetted by SFS, and taken together illuminate the full SFS experience.
SFS students also complete anonymous program evaluations before leaving their SFS program. These evaluations are closely reviewed by the SFS Office of Academic Affairs and the Center staff.
