Â鶹´«Ã½

The largest and most diverse college at Â鶹´«Ã½, the College of Arts and Sciences is deeply committed to developing its international culture. The number and quality of college members dedicated to international education mark the college as a University leader with respect to preparing Â鶹´«Ã½s and faculty to better work and live in a global context.

Whether it’s a dynamic discussion about Latin American economies in a traditional classroom, or a physics experiment in a Japanese laboratory, college activities nourish creativity and deepen intellectual understanding through strategic and sensitive outreach, and responsiveness to potential global collaborators.

With a thriving body of Â鶹´«Ã½s and faculty who are already globally connected, the college aims to challenge and support its individual constituents as they broaden and deepen their own global engagement and enhance the international character of the college.

We invite you to explore the richness the college offers, sometimes in partnership with the Haenicke Institute for Global Education, with respect to international education, research and outreach.
