Tte Future Generations Graduate School, a 501(c)3 non-profit institution of higher education, is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and a member of the North Central Association. Founded in 2003, the Future Generations Graduate School offers a two-year Master's Degree in Applied Community Change with concentrations in conservation and peacebuilding. As the educational arm of Future Generations (www.future.org), the Graduate School also supports multi-year research initiatives in community-based approaches to conservation, child health, and peacebuilding.Dedicated to training students from diverse backgrounds, the Graduate School has trained community leaders from 33 countries and graduated four classes of students.
This Master’s Degree builds the skills and capacity of mid-career community leaders. Instead of relocating to a campus, students remain in their own countries and continue serving their communities throughout the two-year program.

The program blends three instructional modes: on-site field residentials for one month each term, online learning, and an applied practicum (thesis) project in each student’s community.

The next Master's in Applied Community Change with a concentration in Peacebuilding will begin November 2013. Completed applications are due August 15, 2013.
We use a process of rolling admissions. As applications are received they are evaluated for a decision.
The eligibility requirements are:

• Commitment to Community: A recommendation from a community, organization, or government with whom you will be working with as the foundation of your two-year practicum project.
• English proficiency: Non-native English speakers must take the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) or the IELTS (International English Language Testing System). On the TOEFL, one must obtain a score of 500 (or the equivalent) on the paper-based test or 60 on the internet-based test, or a band of 5.0 on the IELTS.

5. A Signed Agreement: Finally, phase four includes a signed agreement between you and Future Generations to the terms for delivering and covering the costs of this applied graduate education.
