Global Horizons: The Croft Experience
About the Institute
Established in 1997 through a generous gift and funded annually by the Joseph C. Bancroft Educational & Charitable Fund, the Croft Institute offers the benefits of a small private college—selective admission, a rigorous academic program, small class sizes, and first-rate facilities—while also providing the advantages of a large public university: affordable tuition, a wide range of opportunities, and extensive institutional resources. By combining the best features of both small and large academic settings, Croft delivers a truly unique and enriching college experience.
Prospective Students
The Croft Institute for International Studies is home to some 225 international studies majors, who come from 4 foreign countries and 27 different states. The Institute accepts 70 students each fall into the international studies undergraduate degree program.
Current Students
The Croft Institute offers current students resources on academic advising, study abroad, the senior thesis, the Croft community, and preparing for a career after college. Our goal is to make these resources as useful as possible, so please don't hesitate to contact us with any questions or suggestions.
