Abstract
The United States holds a long-standing advance position as a leading role in the higher education system. Moreover, US universities are undergoing a process of globalization of higher education in accordance with the proliferation of intercultural partnership with foreign universities. In addition, the growing number of student flowing across national borders stimulates the diffusion of institutional and curriculum. A high-quality higher education involves preparing students to study and work in an interacted world characterized by increasing multiculturalism and diminishing borders (Green 2005). More and more universities in the United States have gradually transformed from an industrial to a knowledge-based economy. In this chapter, advancing global competitiveness of higher education is considered as one major attribute for examining the globalization and internationalization of higher education in the United Sates.
