Selection Criteria

Our philosophy is to maintain the international element of the competition. Since 2010, we have invited more international universities to participate in the MICC than domestic schools. The schools that participate are invited to send teams, not individuals, to the competition. Each school will field a team of four undergraduate students to compete against other teams in the competition.

Although our goal is a truly global roster of universities, we will never sacrifice the quality of the institutions invited just to meet a specific quota. Ultimately, the quality of the competition is our main objective.

MICC is looking to invite a diverse group of universities. All interested universities must apply by September 1, 2023 in order to be considered for an invitation (MICC 2024). Our selection committee considers a variety of factors in deciding who to extend invitation to.

How to Apply

Application information for MICC 2025 will be available in Summer 2024.
