Study Abroad Perspectives On Institutional Operations

Abstract

The twenty-first century has brought about an increased emphasis on the contributions in higher education by way of study abroad programs. This paper introduces components of these contributions as they apply within the context of the University of New Haven (UNH). As a private institution of higher education, UNH faces challenges not unlike its peer institutions concerning innovative and value-adding curricular and co-curricular initiatives that impact on issues related to revenue generation and cash-flow, capacity planning and resident hall availability, and overall academic high quality. These issues are discussed within the framework of study abroad programs and their benefits.
