Peace Corps Master's International Program

Peace Corps LogoIn cooperation with the U.S. Peace Corps, we are pleased to offer the Master's International (MI) program for Peace Corps bound students.  MIs can pursue degrees in one of the following three degree programs: International Administration, International Development or Global Finance, Trade and Economic Integration prior to the 27 months of Peace Corps service. Completion of Peace Corps service and a final report apply toward the final 18 credits of degree requirements at which time students can graduate.

I was attracted to the Administration program because of its focus on practical training in quantitative analysis and management skills and because of the freedom it allowed me in terms of selecting electives.
