MA International Trade Policy (Monterey Institute of International Studies)
Training Provider: Monterey Institute of International Studies (MIIS)
The field of International Trade Policy (ITP) combines the essentials of trade policy with professional skills training. The MAITP degree was developed in recognition of a rapidly globalizing economy and the opportunities and challenges presented to a new group of professional practitioners. The degree program is designed to accommodate the increasing interdisciplinary requirements of practitioners who represent business or governmental interests in the negotiation of legislative policy and evolving international trade policies.

A fundamental philosophy driving the creation of this curriculum is that governments, corporations, and nongovernmental organizations dealing with trade policy need entry-level and mid-career professional staff who are knowledgeable about the fundamental and practical aspects of trade policy and negotiations, and who possess the professional skills essential for practitioners. Because of the unique expertise of the professional training staff and faculty that has been assembled in the ITP program, the Monterey Institute is well-positioned to fill a growing and essential niche in this rapidly emerging field.

ITP degree candidates gain a strong academic foundation in the field of international trade laws and institutions combined with professional skills training similar to that offered by law schools for lawyers or medical schools for doctors.
