IIE recently released Expanding Study Abroad Capacity at U.S. Colleges
and Universities, the sixth white paper in the Meeting America's Global Education Challenge Series. The paper explores critical challenges and potential strategies from the perspective of U.S. institutions to address ongoing needs and solutions for expanding the field of international education for U.S. students.
To stimulate and help inform the ongoing dialogue of increasing study abroad capacity, IIE also invited its colleague organizations, the Forum on Education Abroad and NAFSA: Association of International Educators, to contribute chapters to this White Paper, adding context to a snapshot capacity survey jointly conducted by the Institute and the Forum. A final chapter from the Council for International Exchange of Scholars focuses on the impact of scholar and faculty exchange on study abroad participation.
IIE thanks all Forum on Education Abroad and IIENetwork institutional
members who completed the survey last fall.
