The University of North Texas and the U.S. Peace Corps have officially renewed their Peace Corps Prep Program partnership for another five years, reaffirming a shared commitment to preparing students for international service, leadership, and global careers.

Through the UNT Peace Corps Prep Program, undergraduate students can earn a nationally recognized certificate that helps build the skills, knowledge, and experience valued by the Peace Corps and other globally focused organizations. The program emphasizes intercultural competence, professional development, leadership, and hands-on preparation in sectors such as education, health, environment, agriculture, youth development, and community economic development.

Since its establishment, the program has provided UNT students with opportunities to strengthen their global awareness while developing practical skills that support careers in international development, public service, and community engagement. The renewed agreement ensures that future generations of Mean Green students will continue to benefit from this unique pathway to global impact.

The renewal of this partnership reflects UNT's continued dedication to developing globally engaged graduates who are prepared to make meaningful contributions in communities around the world.
