Resumen
International education isn't exactly a new concept. For years, students have traveled abroad for exchange programs and to obtain degrees. However, in a world that's increasingly global and interconnected, international education is growing, changing, and evolving. Overall, more than 1.5 million students a year study at schools outside their country's borders. What's more, a growing number of these students are from fields such as mathematics, computer science, and natural sciences. Thanks to computers, the Internet, and other communication and collaboration tools, the ability to link people and course content is entirely viable. Not surprisingly, the growth of international studies has opened up an entire world of opportunities. Chinese or Argentine students may travel to Germany to receive advanced instruction in mathematics; American or Russian students may venture to New Zealand to receive an education in volcanology. The march toward international education will undoubtedly continue. To be sure, this brave new world of education is creating new vistas.
