In June 2010, the Monterey Institute was formally designated a Graduate School of Middlebury College,cementing a relationship that had been in the making since 2005 when the two schools signed an affiliation agreement. The combined entity draws on Middlebury's two hundred years experience in liberal arts and language education and the Institute's professional programs to prepare students to respond effectively to the complex challenges of a rapidly changing global environment.
