The Croft Institute for International Studies at The University of Mississippi was established in 1997 with major financial support from the Joseph C. Bancroft Charitable & Educational Fund. The Croft Institute's first full year of operation was the academic year 1998/99.

In addition to a regional focus (East Asia, Europe or Latin America), Croft students select a thematic concentration on one of the following: global economics and business, international peace and security, politics and economics in transition, or social and cultural identity.

Croft students pursue advanced proficiency in a foreign language as an integral part of their studies. Accelerated language programs are currently available in Chinese, French, German, and Spanish. Students may also choose to study Italian, Japanese, Portuguese and Russian.

A degree from Croft can lead to careers in law, international business, journalism, education and research, or to employment with agencies such as the United States Foreign Service, the United Nations, Amnesty International and Save the Children.

"I don't know of another program at a public university in the South that can begin to compete with the Croft Institute in terms of commitment to students and quality of faculty and staff. Studying abroad was an integral part of my Croft expereience. I spent six months in Guatemala working with the Commission for Verification of Codes of Conduct, which does independent external monitoring of labor conditions in apparel factories."
