Middlebury Institute of International Studies grad programs ending

MONTEREY, Calif. (KION-TV) - The Middlebury Institute of International Studies, which announced the end of its graduate programs in Monterey, is winding down its operations.

The school says it plans to support currently enrolled students, including those starting this fall.

They can complete their degrees by June 20-27. They are also working to support faculty and staff to provide a smooth transition.

The president adds that a steep decline in enrollments and applications following the pandemic is to blame.

Middlebury says that current employees will be employed through the end of the year --

Those whose positions are being phased out will get at least a 4-month notice.
