Internationalization of Curriculum<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

International Academic Initiatives (IAI) encourages and supports faculty to incorporate internationalization components into their individual courses. Faculty can participate in varying levels of internationalization, incorporating just one element, or building on each element toward deeper international immersion.<\/p>\n

Individual Courses<\/h2>\n

\u201cInternationalized courses are the building blocks <\/strong>of an internationalized curriculum. Globalized general education requirements, international minors and certificates, and other institution-wide curricular initiatives that ultimately create a coherent student learning experience first require a selection of internationalized courses from which to draw. While the overall impetus for curriculum internationalization may come from institutional leadership, parallel efforts are needed by faculty to build a globally-focused curriculum from the ground up<\/strong>, starting in their own classrooms.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Many courses being taught by Montclair State faculty can be adapted to include an international component. <\/strong><\/p>\n
