Cooperating with a University in the United States: NAFSA's Guide to InterUniversity Linkages

In response to continuing worldwide interest in developing linkage agreements with U.S. universities, this revised edition of Cooperating with a University in the United States: NAFSA’s Guide to Interuniversity Linkages (first published in 1997) serves as a practical guide for representatives of foreign universities interested in cooperating formally or informally with a college or university in the United States. By combining academic and institutional resources, universities in several countries can create or expand educational opportunities that otherwise might not be possible for an institution acting alone. Review the structure of the U.S. higher education system with updated statistics, explore the question of linkages between U.S. institutions of higher learning and their counterparts abroad, and identify the main features of several common types of agreement. Included are several sample linkage agreements. 2007. 76 pp.
