• Peace Corps Fellows Program

The Coverdell Peace Corps Programs at BGSU provide returned Peace Corps Volunteers with the opportunity to enhance the skills and knowledge acquired during service while continuing to help underprivileged communities right here in the United States. We welcome retuned Peace Corps Volunteers to our campus to bring their service home through six graduate school programs and two graduate certificates designed to build upon their service and to meaningfully apply those skills.
