Global MIT represents the Institute’s vision and commitment to international engagement, which is central to MIT’s mission to advance knowledge and educate students in science, technology, and others areas of scholarship. It is through the achievements of our faculty and our graduates that MIT can best serve the nation and the world in the 21st century.
At MIT we create meaningful opportunities for students to learn about the world through research and its practical applications. Students, with guidance from our faculty, grow intellectually and broaden their cultural awareness to become leaders committed to service and making a positive impact on society.
MIT’s campus is home to a truly global community where the world’s leading researchers and educators come together in pursuit of scientific discovery and technological innovation. Our students and faculty enjoy intellectual freedom, share diverse perspectives, and strive for excellence in all their academic pursuits.

Faculty and students can learn from international colleagues and gain access to some of the world’s most advanced scientific facilities. At the same time, MIT attracts the most talented students, faculty, and researchers from abroad.
