Language Requirement

For Business and Policy Students

All incoming business and policy students will be required to take a language placement test during orientation.  This placement test will determine which language course will take during your first semester.  It is important to understand that although we may have determined that you are at the right level at the time of your application, you should continue to work on your language skills in preparation for the program at The Monterey Institute.

If you have been required to take a preparation course prior to enrolling, or are interested in our summer intensive language programs, please select the appropriate option below:

For Business/Policy Student Studying English

For Business/Policy Student Studying a Language other than English

Economics Requirement for Policy Students

Policy students must have a background in micro- and macro-economics in order to take the International Economics course that is part of the core curriculum.  Although students are not required to satisfy the prerequisite before they begin their program, we do recommend that students take care of this as early as possible.  More information about the economics requirement can be found here.

New Student Orientation

The New Student Orientation will take place the week before classes begin.  Detailed information and the orientation schedule will be posted soon.
