International Students as a Resource for Achieving Comprehensive Internationalization
Brennan, Michael; Dellow, Donald A.
New Directions for Community Colleges, n161 p27-37 Spr 2013
Jane Knight is most often credited with establishing the term "internationalization" as a process in higher education. Her seminal works in the 1990s established internationalization not as a state to be achieved, but as an ongoing process by which colleges could strive to increase the global learning of students (Knight, 1993, 1994). Many community colleges have readily moved toward recruiting and enrolling international students, encouraged in part by the double or triple tuition these students pay, which adds to the bottom line of the general operating fund. The increased reliance by U.S. higher education institutions on student tuition and fees to fund operations will only increase the number of institutions exploring the alternative revenue stream international students represent. This chapter describes how the American higher education system is about to witness unprecedented growth in the number of foreign students studying on U.S. campuses. Presidents and governing board members are challenged to leverage this threshold moment to achieve comprehensive internationalization. (Contains 1 note.)
