dc.description.abstract | Internationalization finds expression through travel abroad by students, faculty engaged in collaborative research and publishing, signing of memoranda of understanding between foreign institutions, when satellite campuses or franchise private providers are established across borders, and when countries work towards a common frame of reference such as harmonizing credentials, or attract foreign faculty to their campus (Knight and Teferrar 2008). Internationalization can take place either at home and consists of incorporating intercultural and international dimensions into the curriculum, teaching, research, and extracurricular activities. It assists students develop international and intercultural skills without ever leaving their country. Inversely, internationalization can take place abroad when students or staff travel abroad to access education, research opportunities, and collaborations (Hénard et al. 2012). | en_US |
