What is the Peace Corp Prep Program?

Peace Corps Prep is a certificate program for undergraduates helps prepare students to become an effective volunteer for the Peace Corps. The Peace Corps has identified four core competencies that are critical to the intercultural fieldwork Peace Corps Volunteers do:

1. Sector-specific skills (learn more about SAU course requirements for each sector)
2. Foreign language proficiency
3. Intercultural competence
4. Professional savvy and leadership

Peace Corps Prep programs create frameworks for you to build these four competencies, integrating coursework with hands-on experience and professional development. Upon completion of the program, you will receive a certificate from the Peace Corps—and a competitive edge when applying for Peace Corps service.
