The Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey (MIIS) is launching a new dual-degree program with Russian University, MGIMO (the Moscow State Institute of International Relations), focused on nonproliferation studies. Under the initiative, students will enroll in the M.A. program in Nonproliferation and Terrorism Studies at MIIS and in the M.A. program in International Affairs at MGIMO.
The program will be supported by experts from the Center for Nonproliferation Studies at MIIS and the Moscow-based PIR Center. Under this four-semester program, students will spend the first semester in Moscow, the next two semesters in Monterey, and will do an internship and complete a thesis in the final semester. The two schools are working to set up an application procedure that will enable the first cohort to begin the dual-degree program in fall 2016.
Stay tuned for details!
