Peace Corps/International Program
Visit the Department Web Site »
This joint venture between HSU and the Peace Corps was inaugurated in October 2000. The program offers students the chance to combine academic course work with practical field experience in a foreign country. Students will take one year of courses and during that time apply to the Peace Corps. If accepted by the Peace Corps, students will complete approximately 12 weeks of pre-service training. Upon successfully completing the training, students will become Peace Corps volunteers and begin a two-year tour of service in their country of assignment. After returning to the U.S., students will complete another semester of academic work and write a master’s project based on their field experience abroad. Students will then have earned a Master of Arts degree in English with an emphasis in teaching English as a second language.
