Student affairs could potentially play a vital role in the internationalization of colleges and universities, but the extent to which international issues are included in the preparation of future student affairs administrators has remained relatively unknown. As such, a team of researchers sought to investigate the extent of internationalization among student affairs graduate preparation programs in the United States. More specifically, this study was commissioned to reveal: (1) what types of institutions have student affairs graduate preparation programs that are internationalized, (2) the types of international program components being embraced by student affairs graduate preparation programs, and (3) anticipated future trends and factors that inhibit or promote the development of international program components. The findings of this study have implications for future research on internationalization and the preparation of student affairs administrators.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
