Why you should consider this program

The non-partisan Masters program at the Clinton School places a high focus on hands-on education, featuring 3 field projects which are completed both domestically and internationally. Peace Corps alums have loved the opportunity our program provides to get out of the classroom and continue serving global communities with professional organizations, while acquiring their Masters degree. 

Additionally, the Clinton School places a huge focus on affordability: the full two-year degree is only $16,800 tuition/fees TOTAL for the entire two-year program (and this is before Coverdell funding is applied). The Clinton School also has no application fee and is test-optional for the application (no GRE required for admission/scholarship consideration). We seek to work with all who wish to serve the public good. The Clinton School is one of the most affordable, accessible, and global-serving programs in America. We have enjoyed enrolling Peace Corps alums over the years, and we look forward to working with you!
