GW made the top five in the nation among Peace Corps volunteers. Since its inception, 831 GW alumni have joined the ranks of the Peace Corps, making the University the No. 34 producer of volunteers of all time, and 49 alumni are currently serving as volunteers.

Adding a new category this year, the Peace Corps ranked schools whose volunteers hold advanced degrees. GW ranked No. 3, with 17 alumni volunteers.

Schools are ranked according to the size of the student body. To view the entire 2006 list, visit the Peace Corps Web site at http://www.peacecorps.gov/.
