At the Middlebury Institute, we train our students to address massive, existential problems like climate change and the proliferation of nuclear weapons. Veterans and foreign area officers bring real-world experience and understanding of conflict transformation. You have studied and served in areas where global threats play out on a daily basis and this much-needed perspective is crucial to realizing meaningful progress on global challenges. Your classmates will bring their unique experiences that will complement yours as we work together in and outside the classroom. You will build on your leadership, language, and regional area expertise in our highly collaborative campus.
