Transfer Program

You must transfer 60 credits from an accredited college or university and complete a 90-credit, six-semester program at the Institute. In addition to introductory and advanced courses, students have opportunities to participate in internships with government agencies and international organizations. Students also take intercultural competence courses and courses taught in their chosen language of study. See the curriculum for more details.

Study On-Site and/or Online

Your courses are available in person and online. You may start and complete your entire degree program remotely if you pursue full-time enrollment—please note that your online courses are live (synchronous) so you will have to keep time zones in mind. The faculty, curriculum, and per-credit cost are the same for both formats so you will have the flexibility to study online or in person, or easily switch between the two experiences as your personal and professional needs allow.
