PEACE CORPS PREPARATORY PROGRAM

Do you want to have a global impact?

Do you want to change the world one project and one friendship at a time?

Hartwick College has partnered with the Peace Corps to develop a Peace Corps Preparatory Program for the purpose of preparing interested Hartwick students for careers or volunteer service abroad. This program allows Hartwick students the flexibility to pursue both academic and co-curricular experiences that are already embedded in the Hartwick curriculum. This opportunity is available to all academic disciplines at Hartwick College.
