Localization Program Reclassified as STEM Degree, Expanding Opportunities for International Graduates

Flag procession at Commencement
In a typical year, approximately one third of Institute students—seen here carrying flags representing the various homelands of graduates at Winter Commencement 2018—are international students.

International students who graduate from the Middlebury Institute’s popular Master of Arts in Translation and Localization Management (TLM) degree program may enjoy significantly expanded professional opportunities in the United States now that it has been reclassified as a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) program. Reclassification means that international students who earn a TLM degree may now qualify to stay and work in the United States for up to three years after graduation.
