| Abstract: | Globalization has an increasingly profound impact on a broad range of human activities in political, economic, and cultural areas. From the perspective of higher education, globalization raises a number of challenges and concerns, particularly in preparing students the future leaders of commerce and politics to adequately address the demands of an ever-increasing global interdependence. Colleges and universities worldwide are responding to this challenge with an array of exchange programs and curricular initiatives. A recent international survey of the academic profession indicates that professors worldwide support these efforts. This support, however, is considerably weaker among teachers than researchers. This limited support has implications for policies and programs that focus on developing more global-minded university teachers to prepare young people to adequately meet the challenges of globalization.
