Abstract

Institutions of higher learning increasingly have engaged in strategies of comprehensive internationalization. Comprehensive internationalization involves a range of approaches aimed at incorporating international and intercultural concepts into teaching, learning, research and service. An effective strategy for comprehensive internationalization requires an internationalization plan. Most plans are developed and implemented at the level of the University, and most research on internationalization plans has focused on University-level plans. This paper presents the experience of developing a plan for a college within a University. The College of Business and Public Affairs, one of five colleges at West Chester University developed an Internationalization Plan in 2014. This paper presents the goals and objectives behind developing the plan and the formation of the draft plan itself.
