Özet:

International collaboration between institutions in the United States and abroad are as complex as they are ubiquitous. Success or failure of these endeavors may be the result of increasing economic pressures on the home institution’s campus or institutional capacity of faculty to deliver programs abroad. No matter the cause, the result of a failed or unsustainable program is a negative experience for both the U.S. and international institution. Building on experiences developed over 8 years working with Middle Eastern universities, Ohio University’s Global Services Program (OUGSP) and their cadre of experienced consultants have established a unique and sustainable model to broaden the institutional reach without bankrupting the institution or exhausting the capacity of its’ faculty. At the center of the endeavor is determining institutional need and creating a workable long term plan to meet that need by developing a mutually beneficial budget, conducting a formative assessment and determining program requirements, developing strategies, providing professional development for onsite faculty and conducting regular program evaluation.
