The Karmapa International Buddhist Institute is a college for advanced Buddhist studies. KIBI's purpose is to foster wisdom and compassion through the study and translation of the great Buddhist treatises.

The Karmapa International Buddhist Institute offers progressive programs in Buddhist studies. The initial course is a four year program. It is followed by a five year program of continuing education.

The core curriculum comprises Buddhist Philosophy, Buddhist Epistemology (theory of Knowledge) and Tibetan Language. Meditation teachings are also available. The courses are designed to meet the needs of both beginners and advanced students. Classes are taught in Tibetan, and translated into English. Classes are held from mid-October to mid-March (while the weather is temperate). There is a two-week break between semesters.
