Assessment and Continuous Improvement (OACI)

The College of Charleston works to improve its programs all the time. We do this by assessing our academic programs, along with the offices that support them. The Advising Center and the Center for Student Learning are examples of programs that support your work in the classroom. We also assess the administration. When we find areas we can improve, we design plans to meet that goal.

International Education

Study abroad changes you. A week, a summer or a semester abroad–you'll return with a powerful new perspective on your studies, your career path and your world. Developing a global mindset and collaborating cross-culturally is more important than ever in our increasingly interconnected world. That's why a College of Charleston education often includes meaningful, firsthand experiences with another culture, language and people.
