The Peace Corps Master's International program invites
institutions to participate in mutually beneficial partnerships that
reflect and respond to the growing need for an academic and global perspective.
Established in 1987, the goal of Master's International (MI) is twofold: to
meet the increasing demand overseas for Peace Corps Volunteers with high levels
of education and technical expertise, and allow universities to provide substantive,
internationally focused experiences for their students.
Since its inception in 1961, Peace Corps has enjoyed a productive relationship
with institutions of higher education. Master's International takes
those relationships a step further by actually incorporating academic
learning with the Peace Corps Volunteer experience. Peace Corps has
partnerships with over 45 leading academic institutions offering over 60
degree programs. The degree programs range from TESOL to soil science and
public health and reflect the needs of host communities.
By becoming a Master's
International partner school, you will help to meet the need for
skilled men and women overseas and give your students the opportunity
to gain practical experiences that will allow them to be competitive
in their field of interest. |
