The Center for International Education (CIE) is the university—wide clearinghouse of information and resources for Campbellsville University faculty, staff, students and researchers involved in academic exchanges, overseas opportunities, and academic research. The CIE works hard to promote the internationalization efforts of the campus community in accordance to our Christian mission. It provides advice and council to CU faculty, staff, students and researchers traveling abroad and assistance to international students, faculty, staff and researchers coming to Campbellsville University for study or work. CIE works hard to provide opportunities for students to grow mentally and spiritually.

Campbellsville University’s Center for International Education (CIE) is committed to promoting knowledge and appreciation of the world’s peoples, cultures, and languages. As Director, I seek to find or create opportunities that broaden the international horizons of our students and faculty. In a world where distant actions, for better or worse, affect each of us locally it is of the utmost importance that American citizens understand their role as part of an increasingly interconnected global entity. To this end, the CIE oversees and is developing new study abroad programs, international internships and exchanges across the globe.

Sending Americans abroad and helping to educate them in the ways of the world is, in my opinion, only one side of the internationalization coin. The other is to provide students from around the world the opportunity to visit the United States and learn about our country, culture and language. It is my absolute pleasure to direct Campbellsville University’s ongoing efforts at internationalizing our campus and, by proxy, our region and state. We currently host 220 international students (about 10% of the overall student body) from 35 countries around the globe.

From their arrival at the airport through receipt of a degree, the CIE staff strives to help our international students feel at home in Campbellsville by providing social, cultural and educational programs throughout the year. The CIE also works very closely with faculty, student organizations and various local groups and churches to involve the international students, scholars, and their families, to the greatest extent possible, in a full American experience.
