A unique, new educational program that focuses on geological natural hazards, U.S. Peace Corps field work, and on‐campus study has begun its second year at Michigan Technological University, in Houghton, Michigan. While “Masters International” programs that combine Peace Corps service with a graduate degree program are available at 49 different universities in a variety of fields, the program at Michigan Tech is the only one with a natural hazards focus offering geological degree programs.
