The IADC is unique in the Western Hemisphere in that the faculty, staff and body are international. Broad international participation provides an exceptional opportunity for the free exchange of ideas and forms a foundation for better inter-American understanding. There is no college tuition for participating in the master’s degree program. However, the sponsoring government is responsible for living, and travel expenses of their respective student during the yearlong course.

To develop an educational environment that maximizes each student’s perspective and experience, the IADC strives to maximize diversity in the student body.
