Opis

In this book, Professors Goodwin and Nacht present the only examination to date on the burgeoning American interest in overseas study. Attempting to lead the reader into and through this broad field, the authors investigate the numerous foreign study policies and programs. In addition to describing many of the innovative programs across the country, they explain why students go abroad, how they go, and the ways in which they benefit from this experience.

Recenzje

'I think the book is excellent. It is clear, well written, stimulating, and most important, it can be helpful to a wide variety of readers. The publication will stimulate much needed discussion about current study abroad programs and the need for self-assessment, as well as encourage consideration of new program models. It is a first-rate contribution to the literature on international education. Cassandra A. Pyle, Council for International Exchange of Scholars
