Thesis advisor: Hans de Wit / Thesis advisor: Laura Rumbley / This study will identify to what extent the different campuses that compose the Universidad of Guadalajara (UdeG) have taken steps to internationalize uniquely and “independently,” beyond the frameworks for internationalization offered exclusively via central administration, and to identify some of the specific challenges and opportunities inherent in the internationalization processes for a multi-campus system. / Thesis (MA) — Boston College, 2018. / Submitted to: Boston College.

Thesis advisor: Hans de Wit / Thesis advisor: Rebecca C. Schendel / CUValles has no intentional, integrated institutional pathway to comprehensive internationalization. Consequently, the primary purpose of this transformative inquiry is to analyze how comprehensive internationalization might be achieved at CUValles: a constituent of a decentralized, multi-campus University Network. Interviews with 12 key informants and official document analysis were the means of data collection. Findings indicate the disarticulated presence of all comprehensive internationalization as characterized by ACE, (2017). Comprehensive internationalization might be achieved at CUValles through a context savvy application of de Wit’s Internationalization Cycle (2002), integrated from an “Inter-Campus Research Institute for International Higher Education”. / Thesis (MA) — Boston College, 2020. / Submitted to: Boston College.
