Our Mission
The Glenn & Addie Ketner Center for International Studies at Catawba College seeks to provide students with international study opportunities that are academically challenging and relevant to their fields of study. These learning opportunities are academically rigorous, professionally relevant and personally enriching. This is accomplished by short-term faculty led trips, intensive foreign language instruction and semester-long programs at international universities. International education connects Catawba College students to diverse world cultures and prepares our students for work and service in this increasingly interdependent world. This mission aligns with the College's mission to provide an education rich in personal attention, blending liberal studies with career preparation.
