Internationalizing A Business School Program: A Descriptive Study Of A Strategic Implementation Process Of Internationalization

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explain the process that a small private business school with limited resources and no prior experience took to internationalize its business school program. The extent of this globalization project was not limited to just revising, initiating, and enhancing its course offerings for accounting, business administration and economics major but it also included a plan to provide additional Study Abroad opportunities for its business students, to develop collaborative partnerships with the Spanish foreign language faculty, and to increase educational programs to the outside business communities. All of these will be briefly explained because this globalization process would be incomplete without their inclusion; however, the focus of this particular study will concentrate on the internationalization of the business school curriculum.
