Taking the IDI

As an applicant to the MAIR program, you will take the Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI), an instrument that measures intercultural sensitivity.  Upon receipt of your completed online application at University of the Pacific, the Intercultural Communication Institute will send you a copy of the IDI to complete and return. Your IDI must be submitted before your application can be reviewed.  The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is not required for the MAIR program.

Assistance With Your Application

We know that many of you who will be applying to the MAIR program have been away from higher education for awhile, or are unfamiliar with U.S. higher education systems.  For these reasons, we would like to offer you any assistance we can as you prepare your application materials.  We encourage you to get feedback from us on any part of the application about which you may have questions or concerns.
