Nice little library. I wish it had better (i.e. longer) hours. Strangely, the loudest people in the library are the librarians!!

The online catalog lets you search for books in both libraries, and if the book is in Monterey they will ship it to the PG library in one day for pickup.

20yrs ago it was a good college. This month, the Admissions & Records Dept has caused me to become…read morehomeless and jobless. How? On the 6th of Jan 2026, I ordered transcripts to be sent to the board of nursing in Oregon for a job I had gotten. Today is Feb 1st and they have not sent it. 2 weeks ago I ordered a 2nd set of transcripts, they have REFUSED TO RELEASE MY TRANSCRIPTS per National Student Clearing House who they are contracted with. I have called about a dozen times, they never answer and they have never returned my call. Because of them basically stealing my money not once, but twice, I gave up my home in CA and moved to Oregon to start a job but could not because of the sole reason of them stealing my money and holding my transcripts from Natl Student Clearing House. I have been sleeping as a nurse, in truck stops because I have not been able to start any job in Oregon where I moved to because the Oregon Board need them to send what I paid for twice already. They are a bunch of morons there to hear me tell them my dire state over and over again in all the messages and still hold unto my transcripts plus ghost me. I will be looking to file a lawsuit on this dispicable Admissions & Records dept at Monterey Peninsula College. 0/5 stars for you lack of customer service.

He was a special talent to watch in practice & a joy to watch during the games. At one point in time he was ranked number 1 in the north, as a punt returner, and a kick returner. He played under coach Rasmussen while the equipment manager Rene was around ask about his 4.3- 4.4 speed. Everybody wanted him to go to USC cause he ran like Reggie Bush. I was told he got accepted to the University Of Edward Waters, in Jacksonville Florida purple city aka Ricky Waters camp. Onlookers also mentioned he received prospect letters from the (W) Wyoming University cowboys D1 & Iowa State University the cyclones D1. Loved seeing this young man do what he does shout out to the whole MPC wolf pack!

I've been graduated 6 years from MIIS with a MA in International Policy & Development. I can…read moreconfidently say that it's set me up to make six figures right after graduation & connected me to tons of alumni that have become lifelong friends. The key to being successful in grad school & post grad school are #1.) Specialize (I chose human security) & #2.) Network like crazy the entire time you're in school to prep yourself to land a solid job coming out of school & #3.) Travel & apply your skills during internships while in grad school. I hired & been with my career coach for 6 years to help me write my CV, LinkedIn & interview prep & that too has made a difference. I was making $40k with a BA as a high school English teacher & now I'm a program manager in big tech making $150k-$200k+ depending on how my stock is doing. I highly recommend MIIS

I contacted Eva Gudbergsdottir by the way, the representative who left a passive-aggressive message…read morebelow my review. I guess she couldn't be bothered to respond to either my Yelp direct message or my email. She's not located in Monterey, she's in Middlebury College in Vermont. I still get messages from users asking me to explain a bit more about my experience at MIIS, and I am happy to answer. I encourage everyone to read the "not recommended" reviews at the bottom of this page; you'll find insightful commentary there. I also encourage you to read my original review: I share some insights on the MA TESOL program, more of which I can share a bit below. I get a few questions about the MANPTS degree, or the Nonproliferation/terrorism studies degree. If you already have a job which is sponsoring you to do this degree at MIIS, that's fine. The degree itself does not lead to any kind of career outcome, however; ONLY pursue this degree if you already have a job. The MA in Environmental Policy is a joke. It's the easiest degree at MIIS, and it's known colloquially as the "poster-making" degree because much of the course content involves making visual posters. You can do this if you really want a Master's degree, although honestly you can also get a Master's degree from a private for-profit university, and it will basically be the same thing. The T&I programs are the only successful programs at MIIS, and even to this day attract a good number of students. To my knowledge, it's one of the only programs (possibly THE only program? I might be wrong, please correct me if I am) in the US for translation/interpretation. The city of Monterey is small, isolated, and largely a tourist town, so there is no inherent reason for the country's premier interpretation school to be there. Why couldn't there be a program in NYC, the location of the United Nations? As bad as the MA TESOL program was before, it's even worse now. In an attempt to stay socially relevant in a changing economy, the program has doubled down on a bastardized version of what they call "social justice." In order to pass your courses, you need to find ways to pander to an upper-middle class white liberal audience by paying lip-service to contemporary popular social issues. You'll need to identify your gender pronouns, and create curricula that require students to understand white supremacy in the USA. For a fucking teaching English degree. The statistics on the MIIS career website are laughably false. 99% of all graduates are employed after graduating? Seriously? There's no way this kind of statistical misrepresentation can be legal. Given how expensive and niche the school's degrees are, your classmates are going to be trust fund babies, and the staff/faculty are painfully naive. It pains me to see men and women in their 40's who don't have an understanding of the labor market. By all means, please contact me in a private message and I can tell you more (about the current work environment, about the comical housing situation, MIIS's tuition scholarship hustle...). I promise to be more responsive than Eva Gudbergsdottir.
