Academic Affairs

The Center for Interdisciplinary Studies (CIS) provides opportunities for students and faculty to explore topics that cross traditional disciplinary boundaries. Through the CIS, students have the ability to complete majors that are not regularly offered by academic departments or programs. 

The John Crosland Jr. Center for Teaching & Learning (CTL) is a place where experts in technology, library sciences, and education work together under one roof to support the work of Davidson scholars–from first-year students to tenured professors. The CTL is conveniently located on the main level of the E.H. Little Library.

Davidson is a recognized leader in undergraduate research, scholarship and creative work across all academic programs. Faculty members integrate original research and scholarship into the classroom and encourage students to join them in extensive exploration of original work through the academic year and during the summer. 

The Dean Rusk International Studies Program offers lectures, music and dance performances, art exhibits, and travel grants for students and faculty to internationalize their experience as members of the Davidson campus.

Education Abroad offers students the opportunity to choose from more than 125 Davidson and third-party provider programs located all over the world to study abroad and earn academic credit. Programs are open to students regardless of major or area of study.

The Office of Sponsored Programs is a full-service (pre- and post-award) office that manages administrative processes related to externally funded grants. The office acts as a liaison between faculty, college administrators, and funding agencies.

The Registrar's Office coordinates course registration, maintenance and protection of academic records, and certification of students for continued enrollment and graduation. The office maintains, interprets, and monitors academic policy and communicates procedures to faculty, to students, and to the public.
