Abstract

Higher Education is becoming easier to obtain thanks to the globalization of our economy, our resources and our cultures. As we move into increasingly borderless platforms for learning, the traditional programs of study and education pedagogies are woefully inadequate (Altbach, Reisberg & Rumbley, 2009). The availability of higher education regardless of geographical location as a result of Internet access, the impact of information and communication technologies, the movement of scholars and students between countries as universities position new campuses in developing countries are future trends in higher education expected to continue (Altbach et al, 2009). The “massification” of higher education, in a good light, includes greater social mobility for many. In a bad light, it oversees the general lowering of academic standards and decreases the national culture and autonomy of some (Altbach, et al., 2009).
