Description
Summary:The face of internationalization of universities is changing. Students are opting for more programs where they earn a degree at an international institution. Universities are adopting new and innovative programs to retain high achieving students who have the ambition and drive to study outside of the US. While universities understand the importance of increasing the internationalization of their students, they also understand the importance of doing so at a cost neutral or relatively low cost method. This case examines the experiences of a US institution, a Canadian institution, and a Mexican institution as they design and implement a joint program using the "twinning" approach. It examines some of the internal and external challenges that arise in internationalization efforts today. While this case centers on the experiences involving an MBA program, the issues involved are easily adapted to other international and/or joint programs.
