The Lindenberg Center seeks to mobilize and build upon the resources of the University to engage and educate students in international humanitarian relief and development work. Current programs include:
Peace Corps Master's International
Programs
at the
University of Washington
The Peace Corps Master's International (PCMI) Program provides
students the opportunity to incorporate Peace Corps service
into graduate programs at the Evans School of Public Affairs,
College of Forest Resources, and School of Public Health
and Community Medicine. PCMI students focus on their degree
program during their first year of study, apply these skills
during their Peace Corps work, then return to their respective
programs for a quarter of course work and reflection.

International Relief & Development
Certificate Program
The International Relief & Development Certificate Program prepares UW graduate students for the challenges of working internationally in the aftermath of natural and man-made disasters and on poverty alleviation and long-term solutions for communities worldwide. International relief and development practitioners must have the knowledge and skills to understand and function effectively in complex situations that defy boundaries. The International Relief and Development Certificate Program provides students from diverse disciplines with an understanding of the dynamics of relief and development, and the skills necessary to work collaboratively. Two tracks allow students to build special knowledge either in development or humanitarian relief. The certificate is designed to supplement graduate degrees in the social and natural sciences, engineering, and professional programs. Since the first cohort graduated in 2001, alumni have pursued careers with diverse organizations including PATH, USAID, Health Alliance International, Facing the Future, World Vision, Chemonics, International Medical Corps, The Asia Foundation, The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Grameen Technology Center, and Agros Foundation.
