Overview

The International Education Administrators (IEA) seminars help U.S. higher education administrators establish lasting connections within the social, cultural and higher education systems of other countries. Selected administrators have the opportunity to gain in-depth knowledge about the host country’s higher education system as well as to establish networks of U.S. and international colleagues. Grantees return home with enhanced ability to serve international students and encourage prospective study-abroad students.

The IEA Seminars are open to experienced international education administrators and senior administrators responsible for enhancing the international dimensions of their institutions. A Ph.D. is not required.
