The program builds on the historic academic tradition of the Institute for American Universities (IAU) – ACM's study abroad institute – as one of the first American institutions abroad to prepare students for careers as diplomats in the Foreign Service or international business.

Admission to the MAIR requires a bachelor’s degree or its equivalent (120 units of academic credit), with some proficiency in at least one language other than English.
