Inhaltsangabe

This book addresses the pivotal role American institutions of higher education must play if the United States is to succeed in a global society and economy. Containing papers presented at a symposium held in late 1992 at MIT, this important book identifies three critical resources: human capital, financial capital, and intellectual capital. All 11 chapters focus in some way on the use of these resources toward effective functionality of U.S. colleges and universities in a global environment. The book also personalizes this discussion with instructive examples of comprehensive international strategy drawn from internationalizing the curriculum experiences at Carleton College, MIT, and the University of Pennsylvania. This enlightening and thought-provoking volume is for college and university presidents, administrators, and trustees, and for policymakers in federal government agencies.
