The mission of the Consortium for Transatlantic Studies and Scholarship (CTSS) seeks to encourage and promote a transatlantic perspective by providing faculty and students with a unique multicultural environment in order to aid their personal, professional, and academic development. Furthermore, we encourage collaboration within the consortium and among the member institutions in the area of academics, research, sharing of resources, and development of new programs, at all levels of the college/university: student, faculty, and administration.
To that end, the CTSS has established a Study Abroad Program with Instituto Franklin-Universidad de Alcala, Spain, which is held during the Spring Semester.
Also, a biennial academic Conference–open to academics, researchers, and students alike–is held with Instituto Franklin-Universidad de Alcala as a way to promote research, dialogue, and discussion among scholars from across the world and from across the arts, humanities, and social sciences, on the nature and changing traits of Global Challenges through the focus of the transatlantic perspective.
