Description

Students in a range of academic disciplines can take part in a growing number of international placements available to them. Given the sharp increase in the number of exchange programs in recent years, the benefit derived by students from their added mobility merits greater investigation.

Featuring a range of topics such as healthcare, cultural responsiveness, and teacher education, this book is ideal for higher education institutions, faculty, cross-cultural trainers, government officials, counselors, student services administrators, policymakers, program developers, administrators, academicians, educators, researchers, and students.
