Peace Corps Prep Meeting Set for Feb. 9

In addition to ranking among the top 20 volunteer-producing mid-sized schools in the nation, Truman offers a Master’s International Program in conjunction with Peace Corps service.

The Peace Corps Prep Program will prepare students for international development fieldwork and potential Peace Corps service through interrelated coursework, hands-on experience and professional development support. The program adds value to the Truman experience and prepares students for international service while they pursue their passion to make a positive impact on the lives of others.

No matter what major students are pursuing, they are eligible to enroll in Truman’s Peace Corps Prep Program, completing coursework and field experiences relevant to international service. When students successfully complete the program, they will receive recognition on their co-curricular transcript and a signed certificate from the Peace Corps. While certification does not guarantee acceptance into Peace Corps, it does offer a competitive advantage when applying.

There will be an information meeting at 7 p.m. Feb. 9 in the Student Union Building Georgian Room A. For more information, contact Mary Shapiro or visit truman.edu/majors-programs/more-learning-opportunities/peace-corps-prep-program.
