Abstract | Twenty years ago, the Council on International Educational Exchange (CIEE) convened a group of experts to examine international higher education and make recommendations for the future of study abroad programs at U.S. universities. In its report to CIEE, the group--which represented a wide range of experience in higher education, foreign language and international studies, and public policy--called for increased international awareness among the nation's colleges and universities. Today, most of the nation's colleges and universities recognize the importance--for their graduates, for their own ability to successfully operate in the 21st century marketplace, and for the nation's strategic interests--of heightening the intercultural and international understanding and competencies of their faculty and students. The desire to internationalize higher education is a long-recognized and much sought-after goal. The author examines past achievements, current efforts, and the future imperative for global higher education. Lois DeFleur, Daniel Papp, and Beverly Byers-Pevitts offer additional commentary and perspective. (Contains 3 notes.) (ERIC). |
