Abstract: (94 Views)
As students and scholars across the world have become increasingly mobile, higher education institutions have developed international education programming. While assessing the success of these efforts can be difficult in a field that literally encompasses the globe, the American Council on Education (ACE) has identified standard criteria to evaluate the internationalization of higher education in the US. In this study, materials from three university websites were gathered and assessed using the ACE model for comprehensive internationalization. The three institutions are: the University of Cincinnati, the University of Kentucky, and the University of Louisville. Further, a quantitative analysis was completed comparing the number of international and study abroad students at each institution. Results demonstrate a discrepancy in the success of international efforts between the University of Louisville and the other two universities, which can be attributed to differences in university structure. The findings illustrate the impact of university leadership and structure have in the internationalization of higher education.
