Who We Are

The Columbian College of Arts & Sciences encourages international and cross-cultural perspectives among our extensive community of distinguished scholars and diverse undergraduate and graduate students. A broad liberal arts education guides our students to use their knowledge to examine the critical issues that impact our region, nation and the world beyond. In addition, we are engaged in collaborative international research partnerships that are advancing a wide range of artistic, social and scientific imperatives.

What We Do

The CCAS Office of Global Initiative's mission is to advance the College's international priorities through world-class education, education diplomacy, and engagement with the world. We assist our students and faculty in their global engagement.

"I spent this summer in Medellin, interning for the [Columbian] Department of the Environment and Urban Planning. The municipality had just made the switch to LED lights for all of their public lighting, so one of my projects was to quantify the benefits of that change and present the economic, environmental, and public health benefits to the Mayor"
