Master’s International equipped Peace Corps Volunteers with the education and skills to serve successfully and, in turn, helped students earn an advanced degree.

In 2016, the Peace Corps made the difficult decision to phase out the Master’s International program and focus on other strategic partnership opportunities.

The Peace Corps holds immense respect for the universities, coordinators, and students that housed and participated in Master’s International partner programs. The following provides information about what the closure of Master's International means for each:
