"The M.A. in International Service program and degree was a great experience. People I meet find it really interesting, as there are so few degrees like it. I am still in touch with the people I met on the program— fellow students and professors."
- Megan, now Director of Mentoring Services at Big Brothers Big Sisters International
The program is designed as a cohort program, and each group is usually comprised of students from the U.S. and several other nations. M.A. students attend classes together during the two semesters, allowing them to learn and grow from one another's experiences and expertise. It has also proven helpful to have the support of the group during and after the program.
M.A. students typically come from diverse backgrounds: public and private universities; a variety of majors; some with and some without international and/or service experience; some from the U.S. and some from other countries. Past graduates have come from the U.S., Canada, Ecuador, Greece, Guatemala, Jamaica, Japan, Liberia, Mexico, Nepal, the Netherlands, Portugal, South Korea, Togo, and the UK. Some students have already earned master's degrees in other areas, and some go on to earn further degrees after completing the program. Almost all go on to interesting careers in the social service sector, some with domestic and some with international organizations.
