The Master's International Program Let the World beYour Campus Choosing between graduate school and the Peace Corps can be a difficult decision. Qualified applicants can do both through the Peace Corps Master's International Program. Participating graduate schools establish and monitor academic requirements, and the Peace Corps places MI students overseas as Peace Corps Volunteers.
Requirements vary by school.
MI students typically complete one year of graduate studies before starting a Peace Corps assignment. The Peace Corps assignment then serves as the foundation for a thesis, project, professional paper, portfolio or other culminating project. After completing Peace Corps service and any final academic work required by the degree program, MI Volunteers graduate with a unique combination of an advanced degree and two years of substantive professional experience in an international setting. The Master's International program offers degrees that correspond to all Peace Corps program areas. Select your area of interest to view a list of participating schools and related details.
