Global education at Dickinson starts when our students step onto campus and extends into the Carlisle community and the communities of our Dickinson and partner programs worldwide. Chartered just days after the signing of the Treaty of Paris, Dickinson was established at the very moment when the United States entered the international community. Global study and engagement have been cornerstones of the Dickinson experience ever since. In 1790, Dickinson became the first college in the country to offer modern foreign language study, and in 1965 Dickinson launched its first study-abroad program in Bologna, Italy. Global encompasses all the people on this campus-students, faculty and staff-the intellectual life of the campus and the lived experiences outside the classroom. The Center for Global Study & Engagement plays a central role in leading, inspiring, monitoring, organizing and assessing global education initiatives and programs.
