Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: As important as internationalization may seem in principle, the process of internationalizing the curriculum is neither uniformly endorsed nor systematically practiced at colleges and universities in the United States. Recent studies indicate strong rhetorical support for international courses and programs but far less activity and investment. Instead of increasing international requirements and offerings, some schools actually appear to be moving in the opposite direction. What accounts for these gaps between principle and practice? Why are all schools not moving forward institutionally to better prepare their students for the challenges and opportunities of our emergent, global age? Using multiple methods and sources, this paper explores these questions conceptually and empirically in the context of clarifying the argument about why internationalization matters. As the international landscape continues to shift, educators and institutions must strive to keep pace and adapt their strategies and offerings accordingly; if not, they may not only place themselves at a comparative disadvantage in the increasingly international marketplace of education, but also may endanger the capacity of our citizenry to succeed and lead in a globalizing world, with potentially far-reaching and long-lasting ramifications for the US and our planet alike.
