Abstract | Internationalizing the undergraduate curriculum has become a high priority for colleges and universities across the United States. The reasons for this change are largely economic; it is recognized that students today must understand the global economy just as Senator Justin Morrill, author of the Act which created the unique American system of land grant colleges, recognized that Americans needed to improve their competitiveness in all markets foreign and domestic a century age. However, American institutions are not making the appropriate connections between economic change, competitiveness, and international education. It is important now and for the decades ahead that they consider their role in developing the competencies and citizen understanding needed for American participation, prosperity, and leadership in the global economy.
