President's Message

Today, universities all over the world face great challenges. Like businesses and governments, we must meet the needs of a new, global age. We must work across the borders between universities and industry, between academic disciplines, between institutions, and between nations. By providing in-depth understanding of foreign cultures and facilitating tailored work and study experiences abroad, MISTI has become a national model for international education.
