International Initiatives

By advocating for the integration of international perspectives into the curriculum, the International Initatives Offices supports students through 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.

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 diversity, equity, and inclusion across the university community.
