  5. International education International education is a comprehensive approach to the students’ academic plan that intentionally prepares them to be active and engaged participants in a multicultural, interconnected world through internationalization of the curriculum. It transcends borders and connects our students to countries, people, customs, cultures, values, languages, political and economic systems, religions, geography, history, and current events of the world; and it engages students in a variety of ways to achieve a deeper understanding through examination and inquiry.

  6. Why Internationalize? • Strengthen liberal education. • Enhance the quality of teaching and research. • Prepare students for careers. • Contribute to local economic development and competitiveness. • Enhance students’ ability to live in an increasingly multicultural environment in the U.S. • Enhance the development, excellence, and relevance of institutions in other countries. • Contribute to international and intercultural understanding. • Produce experts required to support U.S. foreign policy and diplomacy. • Create goodwill and support for the U.S. and other countries.
