The Dean Rusk International Studies Program embodies Davidson's belief that knowledge of other cultures and of the social, economic, political, and scientific forces that shape our world are integral to a liberal arts education.

Incorporating the offices of study abroad, the international student advisor,  and a grants and programming staff; the Dean Rusk Program works to give a global dimension to every student's education.  In cooperation with other organizations, the program also serves as a catalyst for international education in the greater Charlotte area.
