What is the Master’s International Program with the U.S. Peace Corps?
SIT’s Programs in Intercultural Service, Leadership, and Management are very relevant to the challenges that Peace Corps volunteers face overseas. U.S. citizens nominated by Peace Corps earn their master’s degree by completing the nine-month on-campus academic component at SIT, then serve for two years in the Peace Corps in a related overseas assignment. Serving in the Peace Corps satisfies the Practicum requirement for the degree. To participate in this program you will need to submit applications simultaneously to SIT and to the Peace Corps. The Peace Corps and SIT will consider your applications separately. For further information, please visit the Peace Corps website.
