Why you should consider this program

Returning Peace Corps volunteers who enter one of the graduate Therapy programs at Seton Hill through the Coverdell Fellows Program can earn a master's degree with a 30% discount in tuition cost, while studying with faculty who have worked in their fields of expertise.
