Description - Internationalizing Higher Education: Building Vital Programs on Campuses: New Directions for Higher Education, Number 117 by Bruce W. Speck
Diversity is a buzz word in higher education, often characterized
solely in ethnic or racial terms. Diversity, however, when properly
understood, has a much wider scope; it can refer to cultural and
linguistic diversity. Campuses can achieve greater diversity in the
broadest sense by understanding how to internationalize higher
education. This volume provides insights into how administrators,
professors, and students can promote the internationalizing effort.
Chapters are devoted to promoting the effort by explaining how to
help students from other countries be successful in the U.S.
classroom, how to provide opportunities for native students and
professors to work and study overseas, how to develop exchange
programs, and how to help non-native families adjust to U.s.
culture. For those interested in how to internationalize higher
education, this volume provides a wealth of practical advice.
This is the 117th issue of the Jossey-Bass series New Directions
for Higher Education.
