One of my sons completed a masters program at Brandeis in International Sustainable Development(2004) - there were a unique and amazing group of students, heavy emphasis on internships, and he had no trouble gaining full-time employment (World Resources International in D.C.) - offers came from both (paid) internships. It was expensive but he received a partial scholarship.
I mention it because it was a good fit for my son who I once gave a T- shirt imprinted with "Not all who wander are lost." Your daughter will surely do well - GOOD JOB, DAD! Susan St. John, Assoc.
