A Leading University With International Reach: Internationalization At Western Kentucky University, David M. Kerr
Dissertations
Internationalization has become a central feature of American universities and has continued to grow in importance as administrators, teachers, and students desire to take advantage of the multitude of benefits (academic, social/cultural, economic, and political) successful internationalization can offer.

The goal of this phenomenological study is to examine the process of implementing internationalization …
