Master’s program sends first degree candidate into phase two

An SAES agriscience education major, Courtney Owens of Henderson, has become the first student to enter the Peace Corps through the Master's International program that was launched in the fall of 2004. The three-year program begins with a year of graduate coursework, followed by two years of Peace Corps service that applies the classroom learning to the real world. With his year of coursework under his belt, Owens will be departing for French-speaking West Africa in late September to begin the two years of service as a Peace Corps volunteer that will complete requirements for his master’s degree.
