These programs are quite unique in that they offer students the opportunity to combine a master's degree with overseas service with the Peace Corps. There are over 50 academic institutions nationwide that sponsor this type of program and represent a diverse array of fields of study. The program was established in the late 80’s to address one of the goals of the Peace Corps: to help the people of interested countries in meeting their need for trained men and women. Individuals who have participated in the program have served in over 70 different countries and walk away with a unique experience and a master’s degree.
