Is this new?•Long-standing calls for
internationalization, particularly of U.S. higher education▫For example, see bibliography in Zha
Qiang, “Internationalization of Higher Education: towards a conceptual framework,” Policy Futures in Education, Volume 1, Number 2, 2003, pp. 248-269
•Significant emphasis on study abroad/bringing international students to U.S.

So what’s new?•New globalizing economy requires skills:
▫Diverse and knowledgeable worldview▫Know international dimensions of academic
major▫Communicate effectively in another language▫Value international experience▫Understand and exhibit sensitivity and
adaptability in cross-cultural experiences▫Develop global competence throughout life—from NASULCG’s 2006 National Action Agenda for
Internationalizing Higher Education

What else?•Technology
▫creates new working environments relevant to most students upon graduation;
▫enables faculty—but students as well—to engage in international academic communities; moreover
▫makes it much easier for faculty and students to develop and practice global competence on the U.S. campus.
•TECHNOLOGY HAS THE POTENTIAL TO RECAST RADICALLY INTERNATIONAL HIGHER EDUCATION

What’s not new?
• Progress toward real internationalization is very slow, indeed.
See Karin Fischer’s online article on ACE’s “Mapping Internationalization on U.S. Campuses,” Chronicle of Higher Education, Thursday, May 22, 2008
• Too much evidence of individual campuses and programs reinventing the wheel without real institutional commitment.
Short term, profit motivated, owned only by a faculty member or department, lack of fit to institutional mission and strategic priorities, disconnected from institution’s evaluation programs and reward structures.
