Coming Home:  Due on June 03, 2015

(Please read: “The Globalization of Higher Education”)

Now that you have finished your program away, you perhaps have a more nuanced view about the globalization of education through study away/abroad, especially as this has become a special priority for American colleges and universities.  Even for those of you who have remained in the U.S. you will have noticed the international makeup of your classes in larger cities and programs.

Please think critically about what such an education aims to provide, how it is marketed to parents and students, what skills it is meant to help you develop, and at what cost.

So, looking at the entire experience holistically, what are some of the take-away points you can illustrate through your personal anecdotes that helps us understand your thoughtful perspective on what this experience has provided in terms of an ‘education’ about the world and your place in it?
