The Impact of the Bologna Process on U.S. Higher Education - What's Next?

While much has been said and written about the Bologna Process, what can U.S. campuses expect in the next few years?

• What are the trends in European institutions’ adoption of the Bologna Process?
  

What do these trends mean for:

• Study abroad
• Transatlantic student flows
  
• Admissions and transcripts
  
• Research
• Demands on U.S. campuses

This 75-minute webinar will provide a starting point for further discussions on your individual campus. By attending this webinar you should be able to:

• explain the general impact of the Bologna Process on your campus
• initiate and/or facilitate conversations integrating the results of the Bologna Process into your campus policies.

International education professionals signing up for the webinar are encouraged to organize a broad range of stakeholders to attend the webinar together: chief international education officers, admissions professionals, graduate deans, and study abroad professionals.  The fee is per location; you can invite as many people as you wish to view and hear the presentation by computer projection and speaker phone.
