“…Beyond accomplishing one's mission through relevant programs and experiences for students are academic realities that HEIs need to address. For continuing relevance, the demand from stakeholders especially the faculty and students for courses, programs, and research topics that deal with global issues need to be appropriately addressed (Hill and Green, 2008;Iuspa, 2010). Iuspa (2010) likewise indicated that while the central role of the faculty could not be questioned in internationalization, students are also expecting an undergraduate education that will prepare them to be competitive in a more globalized world (Van der Wende, 2007;OECD, 2012;CHED, 2012).…”

Motives to internationalize among institutions are basically academic if the drive is to achieve global standards to enrich the quality of higher education.…”

“…Furthermore, within the academic and economic motives are stakeholders that influence the HEIs' rationales for internationalization. Iuspa (2010) noted that within the institution there are three subgroups: "the institutional level, the academic and their departments, and the students" (de Wit, 2000, p. 12). These subgroups have their own motives for internationalization.…”

“…Since these motives are not mutually exclusive, HEIs must have a clear understanding of "Why" internationalization is significant for the institution. Which rationales HEIs decide to follow, will depend on the institution's history, resources, and the stakeholders' influences (Iuspa, 2010).…”

“…The mixed method design through the case study approach was utilized where each HEI represented a case of internationalization in their respective institution. An interview guide on internationalization adapted from Hill and Green (2008) provided mainly the qualitative information; most quantitative data were taken from Student and Faculty Survey Questionnaire on Internationalization (Iuspa, 2010). Data were also gathered from document analysis.…”

The last decades saw universities from all over the world experiencing increased pressure from the external environments because of globalization. It is a common understanding that internationalization is an institution's ready response and/ or a reaction "to cope with the global academic environment" (Bernardo, 2003; Altbach and Knight, 2007). Many Higher Education Institutions' (HEI) leaders in the Philippines like their international counterparts internationalize their institutions. This paper studied internationalization in four

This qualitative case study examined the higher education phenomenon of internationalization from the perceptions of one private post-secondary institution in South Florida. Open-ended questions from a survey and semi-structured interviews were executed. Participants selected for this study were limited to seven leaders and directors directly involved in the decision-making process of budgeting, strategic planning, as well as the implementation of the recruitment of international students at this private university. General inductive analysis was used to report the data. Once the interviews were done, the primary method of analysis was the pairing of categories from the raw data into a model that brought key themes that the researcher felt relevant for the study. Two major themes emerged: Internationalization as a critical strategy for institutional growth and critical components for successful implementation of Internationalization. Overall, two findings emerged from the results: Leadership effectively implemented internationalization efforts by recognizing this strategy as crucial for institutional growth and that there were key components such as cooperation of all institutional units, the need of support services, the leadership role and financial investment as required to achieve internationalization goals. Recommendations for practice are shared and include: (1) making internationalization comprehensive in terms of college or university personnel's cooperation and involvement from its early stages, (2) learning from peer institutions' implementation of internationalization that at various phases of Knight's internationalization cycle, and (3) ensuring that the planning and review of internationalization receive adequate effort and support on its implementation.
