The College of Forestry’s new Peace Corps Master's International Program received good press coverage February 2009:
Oregon State University offers a Peace
Corps Master’s International (MI) Program in Forestry.
A student accepted into the OSU Graduate School and one of the the College of Forestry departments as a graduate student can choose a program that ties in Peace Corps service in the forestry sector. Here at OSU an MI student can study forest economics, international marketing of forest products, natural resource education and extension, ecology/biology, silviculture, or social forestry, and your graduate degree program will be coordinated with your 27 months of Peace Corps service.
The coursework prepares you to be the high-caliber professional expected of OSU College of Forestry students... but with a twist. Some courses will prepare you for Peace Corps / international work.
Depending on the program, students earn either a Master of Science or a Master of Forestry with an emphasis in the track of their choice.
