Discipline: Education
Abstract:
Institutional internationalization is increasingly becoming a profitable strategy used by colleges and universities to respond to the transformative effects of globalization in higher education. As educational institutions begin to put greater emphasis on the dimension of their academic and organizational programming, it becomes important that they strategize the best possible planning practices to ensure systematic, continuous, and sustainable initiatives. This study aimed to identify and measure the internationalization initiatives of Higher Education Institutions in Baguio and Benguet. In light of the findings of the study, the following are the conclusions: The HEIs are initiating internationalization initiatives both in Academic Programs and Organization Strategies to catch up with the growing demands of internationalization. The HEIs understand the paramount importance of internationalization in their campuses in terms of Social/Cultural, Political, Economic and Academic aspects. The institutions face difficulties encountered in the implementation of internationalization initiatives in terms of Student, Faculty and Staff Mobility, Internationalizing Curricula, Research Collaborations, International Networks, International Distance Education and International Quality Assurance Systems.
