5 Evidences that U.S. Universities Could Become More International

Inside Higher Ed reports on results found in Mapping Internationalization on U.S. Campuses: 2008 Edition, which can be ordered for $55.00, plus shipping and handling, from the American Council on Education Web site.

1. In 2005, just over one-fourth of all the higher level colleges/universities in the States send NONE of their graduates overseas to study.

4. Most high ed institutions have NO full-time person to coordinate a global awareness.

5. Less than 20% of institutions have a foreign-language requirement for all undergrads.
