Global Programs

A world of opportunities

At Mount Saint Mary鈥檚 University, we believe that to succeed in today鈥檚 world, our students need to practice the skills necessary for living and working in a larger global community. 

Engaging our students in international research, service learning and internships abroad is at the core of the Center for Global Initiatives鈥� mission. 

Research shows that international student programs increase cultural understanding, improve students鈥� academic performance and language skills, and make them more attractive to employers due to their cross-cultural exposure in a global economy. 

The Center serves as a hub for our students looking for international research experiences or service opportunities abroad. Our partner organizations and faculty-led programs are here to help students launch their international learning experiences.

Global Women in STEM and Policy undergraduate research program

GWSTEM: Breaking Barriers

The Global Women in STEM and Policy undergraduate research training honors program trains cohorts of undergraduate women to conduct basic and applied research in both the sciences and social sciences, with a focus on global and interdisciplinary approaches. It also includes a robust women鈥檚 leadership component.   

Designed by Mount Saint Mary鈥檚 University faculty, GWSTEM is open to students majoring in biology, chemistry, political science, healthcare policy and global politics. Accepted students form a cohort and engage in a three-semester, cross-discipline experience that culminates in a summer of global field research. This program reflects the Mount鈥檚 strategic mission to empower women, engage in a global environment and increase undergraduate research opportunities.
