The Fulton School and The International Century
The 21st century has been called by some the international
century, and indications that such is indeed the case, just
a little more than a decade into the 2000’s, are all around us, and impossible—as
well as unwise—for us to ignore. The internet, 24-hour news
cycles, increased international travel, recent geopolitical
shifts and circumstances, even cell phones and iPhones/BlackBerries,
have all come together to make all of us international/global
citizens. How fully and how well we are able embrace that
citizenship—both now, and even more importantly, in the
future—and contribute to the 21st century’s new, global
landscape, as well as its effects on all matters closer to home,
depends in large part on how well we, through our studies and
experiences, learn about and experience, preferably firsthand,
the world beyond our borders, as well as the cultural changes
taking place within them.
With all of this in mind, the Fulton
School of Liberal Arts, long a trailblazer in all things
international at Salisbury University, has moved aggressively in
recent years to become, truly, an international,
globalized school, via both its many programs and course
offerings on campus and the growing number of study abroad
programs and opportunities around the world that it offers to
both students and faculty. Fulton’s embrace of the
international century is ongoing, as each year the School
very deliberately adds—and will continue to add—more to its
international lineup. The School also strongly encourages—and
supports and facilitates—both students and faculty to take full
advantage of the growing number of international opportunities,
both on campus and, in particular, abroad.
The present website, via the menu in the box above,
introduces students and faculty to the many current—and
growing—international opportunities offered via the Fulton
School. Students with questions about these opportunities should
either email or call the contact person or home department
mentioned the description for each opportunity, or contact
Salisbury University’s Center for International Education
(SUCIE) at 410.334.3495. Faculty with questions about the
opportunities listed for them should contact
Dr. Keith Brower,
Associate Dean, Fulton School of Liberal Arts, or
