Report: U.S. Campuses Growing More International

Report: U.S. Campuses Growing More International: American colleges and universities have made significant gains in becoming more international in scope, but the progress has hardly been universal and varies by sector, a new survey released Wednesday by the American Council on Education, or ACE, has found.

Officials at ACE say the survey — titled “Mapping Internationalization on U.S. Campuses: 2012 Edition” — identified several trends that are encouraging but also turned up some, such as the long and steady decline in foreign language instruction, that give reason for concern.

“The overall picture is quite mixed,” Patti McGill Peterson, presidential adviser for global initiatives at ACE, said during a teleconference Wednesday around the release of the report.
