Internationalizing the University

Abstract

To become one of the top three public research universities in the world, the University of Minnesota must become a global university. To adequately prepare all students for global citizenship, the university must create international experiences for all of its students. The university is making substantial progress towards its goal that 50 percent of its undergraduates should participate in study aboard, but it must also address the need to internationalize students on campus. The PEL Internationalization Project Team will provide information and recommendations regarding strategies/methodologies for expanding and documenting the international experience of University of Minnesota students at home.
