Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey Acquired by Soka University of America | Education M&A Deal

Soka University of America has initiated an acquisition of Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey, a higher ed services business in California, for an undisclosed price. The Middlebury Institute provides graduate international studies programs and operates a California campus in Monterey, supporting master’s-level education for students seeking global policy and area studies. Soka University of America acquisitions aim to expand graduate offerings and add a second campus about 370 miles from its Irvine, CA base, with plans to begin recruiting as early as summer. The education M&A is structured as a divestiture acquisition with exclusive negotiations and due diligence underway, following board approval of a letter of intent.
