章节摘录

　　In response to the same forces that have driven the world economy， universities have 　　become more self-consciously global： seeking students from around the world who represent the entire range of cultures and values， sen.ding their own students abroad to prepare them for global careers， offering courses of study that address the challenges of an interconnected world and collaborative research programs to advance science for the benefit of all humanity.　　Of the forces shaping higher education none is more sweeping than the movement aaoss borders. Over the past three decades the number of students studying abroad each year has grown at an annual rate of 3.9 percent. Today foreign students earn 30 percent of the doctoral degrees awarded in the U.S. and 38 percent of those in the U.K. And the number crossing borders for undergraduate study is growing as well， t0 8 percent of the undergraduates at America's best institutions and 10 percent of all undergraduates in the U.K. In the U.S.， 20 percent of the newly hired professors in science and engineering are foreign born， and in China many newly hired faculty members at the top research universities received their graduate education abroad.　　Universities also encourage students to spend their undergraduate years in another country. In Europe， over 140 000 students participate in the Erasmus program annually，taking courses for credit in one of 2 200 participating institutions across the continent. In the U.S.， institutions are providing students with internships abroad. Yale and Harvard have led the way， offering every undergraduate at least one international study or internship opportunity.　　Globalization is also reshaping the way research is done. One new trend involves sourcing portions of a research program to another country. Yale professor and Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator Tian Xu directs a genetic research center at Shanghai's Fudan University， where employees and graduate students work in laboratory seminars with scientists from both campuses. As a result， Xu's Yale lab is more productive with lower costs of conducting research in China， and Chinese graduate students get on-the-job training from a world-class scientist in return.　　……
