Description
Provides a detailed roadmap for negotiating, implementing, and maintaining cross-border college and university partnerships Partnerships between American and international institutions of higher learning are an increasingly popular way to attract the brightest and best students, enhance course curricula, and improve revenues. But negotiating and maintaining cross-border partnerships can take the skill of a seasoned diplomat combined with the expertise of a master dealmaker. Packed with campus-based case studies, this volume in the New Directions for Higher Education series offers a fine-grained picture of what is involved in cross-border partnerships and provides a detailed roadmap to follow in developing such ventures.
