Abstract

The American Council on Education (ACE) launched Creating Global Citizens: Exploring Internationalization at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in 2010 to learn how HBCUs are internationalizing their campuses. Conducted as an action-research study, the project’s goals were to (1) identify factors that impede or enhance the internationalization process at HBCUs and (2) disseminate findings to the higher education community. The primary aim of the project was to build on HBCUs’ successes in internationalization by assisting them in being more strategic in advancing initiatives, accelerating and deepening their efforts, and positioning them to pursue funding and partnering opportunities for internationalization.
