The International Education Center (IEC) prepares the MassArt community to participate in the creative economy by supporting international experiences, encouraging intercultural connections, and promoting success in a diverse world. In support of this mission, the International Education Center is committed to creating a campus climate that recognizes and celebrates the value of global exchange. We provide opportunities for individuals within the MassArt community to develop a path toward global competency. Global competency includes: developing a knowledge of others and knowledge of self; developing skills to interpret, relate to, discover, and interact with others; valuing others’ beliefs and behaviors; and revitalizing one’s self.
