While many students in the United States learn about international relations from thousands of miles away, master's students in the Peace Corps International Program and DU's Josef Korbel School of International Studies learn about the subject by immersing themselves in the field.

The program incorporates Peace Corps service with a master's degree in international administration, international development or global finance, trade and economic integration. The program also allows for concentrations in human rights, global political economy, conflict resolution, policy analysis, global health affairs and development.

"The coupling of our master's program with Peace Corps service provides students with opportunities to apply practical skills and theoretical frameworks to their 'mud on the boots' experiences," says Nicole Vilegi, Korbel's associate director of graduate admissions, Peace Corps program coordinator and returned Peace Corps volunteer (Jamaica, 2002-04).
