Master's
International Program
A cooperative graduate
program between UCD Environmental Sciences and the U.S. Peace Corps
|
The Master's International Program is a cooperative
effort between the U.S. Peace Corps and the University of Colorado Denver
that provides students with the opportunity to earn
a Master's degree in Environmental Sciences and at the same time gain a Peace
Corps experience. The objective of the program is to have students who are
interested in international environmental issues to gain first-hand overseas experiences
and earn credit towards their degree.
To qualify for the Program, students must meet the
admissions requirements for the University master's degree program and the
requirements established by the Peace Corps for Volunteer service. In some cases, enrolled students will be able
to apply to the Peace Corps as a Program applicant during their first semester
of graduate study. A diverse pool of
applicants and participants to the Program will be encouraged.
Program Participants entering the Peace Corps will
complete approximately 12 weeks of pre-service training. Upon successful completion of training,
Program Participants will become Peace Corps Volunteers and begin a two-year
tour of service in their country of assignment.
Before beginning their Peace Corps assignments,
Program Participants will be expected to meet academic requirements of the
Program. The Program will be designed to
prepare them for Peace Corps service and volunteer activities generally.
For additional information on the program, contact
John Wyckoff, MI Program Coordinator, and visit the Peace Corps' MI Website at:
