Creating a Joint Graduate Program in the U.S.-Mexico Border Region
This case study describes and analyzes the pedagogy and process that created and launched the SDSU/UABC program. It describes how a joint Master of Arts degree was created that will educate a generation of border practitioners to address the manner in which governmental agencies can improve delivery of services to border communities and across international boundaries, and, how their effort can enhance the quality of life and promote sustainable development for borderlanders. Specifically, descriptions of curriculum development, the recruitment of students and faculty, the search for and involvement of the Advisory Board, and the methods used to guide the programs through the two university administrations will be discussed. Finally, the case will address what we learned and can share with others who we would encourage to undertake similar endeavors and attempts at binational collaboration.
