Mission Statement
The Center for Global Education's mission is to foster a sense of international community that builds on the University's strong intellectual and spiritual tradition. CGE coordinates and facilitates university-wide global activity by sponsoring international exchanges of students and faculty and serving as a resource for departments and schools on campus that undertake international initiatives.

The Center for Global Education is comprised of two units: The Education Abroad Office (CUAbroad) develops and administers international educational opportunities overseas for CUA and non-CUA students in coordination with CUA academic departments. International Student & Scholar Services (ISSS) is responsible for institutional compliance with immigration-related federal regulations and facilitates the legal entry and acculturation of international students, faculty and visiting scholars by providing immigration and cultural advising and programming and by serving as the University's official liaison to the federal government for immigration-related issues.

In coordinating these, and other international initiatives, the Center for Global Education advances the international character of the University by promoting, supporting, and developing a wide range of international and intercultural educational opportunities for members of the CUA community.
