Distinction
Chartered
just days after the signing of the Treaty of Paris, Dickinson was
established at the very moment when the United States entered the
international community. Global Study and
Engagement has been a cornerstone of the Dickinson experience ever
since, and the college has been recognized repeatedly for its excellence
in this area:
NAFSA: Association of International Educators profiled Dickinson
as one of the six most internationalized campuses in country in its
inaugural publication on excellence in comprehensive
internationalization;
U.S. News & World Report ranked Dickinson fifth in the
nation for international education in the 2003 edition of America's
Best Colleges;
The American Council on Education selected Dickinson as one of
only eight schools to participate in ACE's study of best practices
in international education; and
Dickinson serves as the home of the Forum on Education Abroad, a
non-profit national membership organization recognized by the U.S.
government as the only official Standards Development Organization for
the field of education abroad.
