BRINGING INNOVATION TO THE HIGHER EDUCATION MARKET
The Importance of Transnational Education (TNE) Partnerships Today According to a recent survey, recruiting international students and creating partnerships with international institutions/organizations were named as two of the top international priorities for universities moving beyond 2021. The landscape of international education is ever-changing, but now more than ever is an opportunity for universities to prioritize and focus on creating lasting, meaningful, and valued partnerships. This dynamic creates recruitment opportunities for international universities at a time when normal mobility patterns are significantly challenged and all indications are that new models will coexist with the old. TNE partnerships provide: FLEXIBILITY — Students are seeking non-traditional program and course options
ARTICULATION — Students require assurance that their credit will be transferable
DIVERSIFICATION — To remain competitive, universities must invest in a multi-channel recruitment strategy
With TNE partnerships, students can start their studies in their home country and still travel to the US to complete the program allowing students to earn credit while saving time and money. Today, these options are a must as some students are forced to stay within their home country due to pandemic-related travel restrictions.
Another aspect of TNE’s appeal to universities is the “curriculum mapping” portion of partnerships, providing student assurance that initial credits will be transferable when they continue in their chosen degree program abroad.
TNE partnerships diversify a university’s prospective student pipeline, increasing interest and applications beyond more traditional channels.
