2 Internatinalizatin Strategies 1. Prmte strategic partnershipswith matching missin/strengths; fr teaching, research, ecnmic engagement 2. Jint Academic prgramscreative partnership fr jint/dual-degrees 3. Curriculum integratinkey fr student and faculty glbal cmpetence

3 Jint/Dual Internatinal Degrees Strategic apprach fr internatinal cllabratin in high educatin Build strng and lng-lasting institutinal partnerships Prmte curriculum integratin with glbal perspectives (cmplimentary strengths) Engage faculty fr glbal exchange and schlarship

4 Jint/Dual Internatinal Degrees Enhanced learning experience and glbal cmpetence Prduce degree-seeking students than just exchanges Enhanced academic learning with glbal cntent and cmpetence fr faculty/students Increased crss-cultural and internatinal understanding Value-added and imprve students emplyability in glbalized ecnmy

5 Jint vs Dual Degrees? Cllabrative academic degree prgrams with integrated curriculum by tw r mre partner universities Jint degree prgram Cmplete ONE specified cllabrative academic prgram and receive nly ne diplma issued by bth universities Dual degree prgram Cmplete the Cllabrative academic prgram and receive ne separate diplma frm each f the tw universities ( Duble degree prgrams)

6 Why Develp Dual Degrees? Curriculum Integratin - internatinalize curriculum fr students beynd traditinal study abrad r student exchange prgrams with value-added benefits f crsscultural learning and glbal perspectives. Capitalize n cmplementary teaching, research and experiential learning capacities f bth institutins t incrprate internatinal cntent int new and/r existing degree prgrams. Synthesize cllabrative effrts with partner institutins, which may include student exchanges, jint research, shrtterm academic and internship experiences, and faculty/staff exchange.
