Higher education is increasingly shaped by global forces, from student mobility and cross-border collaborations to policy shifts and the internationalization of universities. At CSHE, our research explores the dynamics of international higher education, examining topics such as global student migration, transnational education, academic partnerships, and the impact of geopolitical and economic trends on universities worldwide. We analyze how institutions navigate internationalization, the experiences of international students and scholars, and the evolving role of higher education in a global context. This page highlights CSHE’s work on international higher education, providing insights to inform policy, practice, and scholarship.
