International Initiatives

The International Initiatives Office supports comprehensive global engagement at Towson University by advocating for the integration of international perspectives into the curriculum, the recruitment of international undergraduate, graduate, and non-degree students, and collaboration of faculty with international partners; serving international students and faculty, students who study abroad and away, and English language learners; supporting a diverse and inclusive campus; and developing a globally competent community.

 

Vision

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.

Values

  • 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 diversity, equity, and inclusion across the university community.
