The Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey will be shutting down its master's programs by June 2027, Middlebury President Ian B. Baucom announced today to faculty and staff at a 2pm meeting on the MIIS campus.
In a subsequent video message and statement on Middlebury's website, Baucom made the details public: "I write today with difficult news," the statement begins.
Self-sustaining centers will not be cut, meaning James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies will remain indefinitely, and summer programs including the School of the Environment and the Bread Loaf School of English will remain through at least 2026.
Furthermore, the online International Education Management and TESOL will be discontinued on the same timeline as residential degree programs.
Baucom adds that "we will pause consideration of any repurposing, lease, or sale of property until the completion of programs in June 2027."
