International work with GIS/Natural Resources

[Mitch Day]

Hello,

I am beginning a graduate degree in GIS at the University of Minnesota.
This program is one of the first professional degrees in the country in GIS.
I am optimistic about the discipline of GI Science as a good way to ensure
an interesting and challenging career full of constant challenge.

My questions:

What course work and extracurricular work can I incorporate into my degree
to increase my chances of being able to do Natural resource work with GIS
outside of the United States upon graduation?

Does anyone out there have experience in this who would like to share their
experiences with me?

Thanks in advance.
