Interested in graduate school and the Peace Corps?

By Phillip Johnson | Published February 22, 2011

New Mexico State University is proud to offer two collaborative Peace Corps programs, the Master’s International and the Fellows/USA program, which are available through the College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences and the College of Health and Social Services.

Master’s International allows students to combine a master’s degree with overseas service in the Peace Corps. Participants complete a year of on-campus coursework before traveling to and begin their Peace Corps assignment. Upon completion of the 27 month Peace Corps requirement, Master’s International students return to the university for graduation. Fellows/USA is a graduate fellowship program that provides returned Peace Corps volunteers the opportunity to pursue graduate-level degrees while receiving financial assistance in the form of graduate assistantships.

Learn more about the Peace Corps programs at NMSU.
