Monterey Institute to Become Fully Part of Middlebury

The Monterey Institute of International Studies, which offers graduate programs, will shift from being affiliated with Middlebury College to becoming a full part of the college on July 1. Middlebury has long been known for its strengths in foreign languages and international studies and officials said they believed having Monterey as a full-fledged part of the college would allow both institutions to improve. Monterey's current board will continue, but will now be appointed by the Middlebury board.
