This study is an attempt to expand the empirical scope of the existing inquires concerning the global convergence of national higher-educational curricular organization. The data cover 71 countries and 75% of the world population over the period 1965-2005. The central hypothesis is that countries diverged during the period in terms of highereducational curricular organization. Indeed, several specific hypotheses are developed and tested regarding national factors that might lead to such divergence, i.e., national business power, democratization, economic advance and industrial development. For evaluating these hypotheses, statistical measures of dispersion and random-effect ANCOVA with heterogeneous level-1 variance are used. The empirical results of this examination do not support the central hypothesis. Instead, it is found that the diversity of national curricular organization became smaller during 1965-2005 on the global scale and national factors might have led to such convergence. Overall, theoretical predictions seem to match empirical outcomes for subordinate hypotheses on national factors listed above. Especially, it is discovered that countries midst intensive industrialization drives, particularly the late developers who are trying to catch up, put more focus on applied natural science in higher education than do other countries.

As a study consultant in the Office of Academic Advising since Fall 2009, I have helped various students and scholars to improve their performance at Johns Hopkins. During our weekly session, I advise a student or scholar to develop their effective strategies on managing time, staying focused, doing homework, preparing for exams, working on projects and interacting with professors, coworkers or teaching assistants.
