The academic components of the BA, MBA, MA & PhD Programs will be administered by the Center for Cultural Diplomacy Studies (of the AICPA Academy for Cultural Diplomacy) and the relevant University Partner.

AICPA is the world's leading center for the study of Cultural Diplomacy, offering educational opportunities ranging from Weeklong seminars for students and interested professionals to Master's and PhD programs for graduates pursuing careers in academia, diplomacy, government, and the private sector, dedicated either wholly or in part to the field of Cultural Diplomacy.

The educational programs of the AICPA, which are offered in partnership with leading universities and institutions, allow students to analyze, research, and experience AICPAM in theory and in practice at the local, state, and international levels. AICPA focuses on, though its capacities are not limited to, the balancing of "hard" and "soft" power, globalization and the interdependence of nation-states, liberal institutionalism, intercultural dialogue & exchange, and the ability of culturally-based initiatives to further mutual understanding and, in turn, conflict resolution.
