International Initiatives

The International Initiatives Office promotes global engagement by encouraging the integration of international perspectives into the curriculum, supporting the recruitment of international undergraduate, graduate, and non-degree students, and fostering faculty collaboration with international partners. We serve international students and faculty, students who study abroad and away, and English language learners, and support a globally competent TU community.

We envision a globally engaged Towson University, where students and faculty from the United States and all countries of the world will experience meaningful international learning and research opportunities at home and abroad.

• We believe that global learning is integral to a well-rounded college education for all students.
• We believe that international and intercultural engagement broadens individual perspectives and strengthens communities.
• We believe that all our activities should be student-centered and seek to celebrate and advance the unique perspectives that international students and those who study abroad bring to the university community.

International Initiatives oversees the International Student and Scholar Office, the English Language Center, and the Study Abroad and Away Office, while supporting all of TU's international activities, including international partnerships, visiting scholars, and international admissions.
