International Collaborations: Opportunities,

The world is getting smaller. Whereas international activity in higher education once consisted of a few marginal study-abroad programs, internationalism is found today in every college president's rhetoric and every catalogue admissions brochure. U.S. institutions are eager to pursue international collaborations to increase revenues, enhance teaching and research, and support curriculum for student skill development of global competencies. Collaborations between American and international institutions can provide options beyond what these colleges could accomplish individually. But these partnerships can also be difficult to negotiate, as the cases and research in this volume attest.
