All PFMP students complete the professional internship abroad, but the
MFS is a full-fledged graduate credential, while the certificate is a
professional development program for university graduates. Admissions
standards are slightly higher for MFS applicants, since their program
leads to a graduate degree and, in many cases, a new and more international
professional environment.
