Peace Corps MATESOL Program
Students may enroll in the MATESOL program in conjunction with the Peace Corps Master’s International Program. Saint Michael’s MATESOL Program is one of ten colleges and universities in the United States that offers this opportunity. The combined program allows students to earn credits toward their MATESOL degree while performing volunteer service abroad for the Peace Corps.
Eight credits can be earned – tuition free – during the volunteer’s period of Peace Corps service. Prospective students must meet all admission requirements and be accepted by both the Peace Corps and by Saint Michael’s MATESOL Program. Before entering the Peace Corps, the student must complete at least two semesters of course work at Saint Michael’s that includes all the required courses for the M.A. except for the teaching practicum.
For further information on the Saint Michael's MATESOL/Peace Corps Master's International Program, contact Dr. Daniel Evans, Co-ordinator, at devans@smcvt.edu, or the Peace Corps at www.peacecorps.gov/masters.
