Message from the Assistant Vice President for Global Education

What is globalization at CUA?

Globalization is defined in this context as University-wide coordination to provide the CUA community with opportunities to raise its knowledge and awareness within an international/global context." This includes efforts to:

* bring a global perspective into the curriculum
* develop strategic programs and initiatives that incorporate best practices
* faciliate the administrative and immigration flow of students and faculty engaged in international study, internship, service learning, teaching and research
* oversee international agreements and Memoranda of Understanding signed between CUA and foreign partner institutions
* offer a wide range of international programs and professional services to the campus community.

Global engagement is no longer a choice - it's a necessity!
