The New York Times has a long article called "U.S Universities Rush to Set Up Outposts Abroad." It is the first in a series of article on examing the globlaization of higher education. Two key article quotes:
"The American system of higher education, long the envy of the world, is becoming an important export as more universities take their programs overseas."
"....internationalization has moved high on the agenda at most universities, to prepare students for a globalized world, and to help faculty members stay up-to-date in their disciplines."
Colleges and universities are recognizing that both they and they students live in a globalizing world. This means being global as an institution and providing their students a globally oriented education.
Our work points to more and more small businesses getting involved in global trade. One driver of this is education. As our colleges and universities become more global so will their students - and as these students enter the work force being global will be more natural than prior generations.
good post and nice blog, I really like this type of interesting articles keep it up.
