The International Dimension in the Substantive Functions of Higher Education Institutions
The context of globalization and modernity in which we are immersed requires that we expand our horizons and be continuously more competitive. The education system, particularly higher education, is not immune to this phenomenon. In this regard, many higher education institutions (HEIs) have incorporated internationalization as an institutional strategy that constitutes the international and intercultural dimensions in its teaching, research and outreach functions by responding to new social, economic and market demands. Given this context, the Universidad Juárez del Estado de Durango (UJED), must include internationalization policy in its educational endeavour as reflected in its institutional mission, vision, normativity, quality assurance policies and intercultural values within the university community in order to affect the quality of educational programs offered by the higher education departments in their substantive activities. The purpose of this presentation is to create and develop an international dimension in the substantive functions in the Economics major offered by the Faculty of Economics, Accounting and Administration of the UJED taking into account the international dimension of curriculum (in terms of its structure, professors, program of studies and students) as well as in research.
