STUDYMOVE COMPLETES INTERNATIONAL MOBILITY BENCHMARK FOR CIC
Studymove continues to work on a large benchmarking exercise for the second year running with the Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC) which consists of The Big 10 group of universities in the U.S. MidWest. CIC member institutions collectively send over 20,000 students abroad each year. CIC contracted Studymove to develop a comprehensive mobility benchmark addressing several emerging areas not reported in existing U.S. reports.
Brett Berquist (chair, CIC Study Abroad Directors and Executive Director, Office of Study Abroad at Michigan State University) and Martha Johnson (Assistant Dean, Learning Abroad, University of Minnesota) proposed the idea for a CIC benchmark after inspiration from an Australian benchmark--an initiative of the Australian University International Directors’ Forum. In May 2012, Studymove initiate the development of this study with a pilot group of 7 universities. For this year, we confirm the participation of 13 universities.
This comprehensive report covers the following areas:
1. STUDENT PARTICIPATION DATA
2. DESTINATIONS
3. PROGRAM MANAGEMENT
4. FUNDING AND SUPPORT
5. INBOUND MOBILITY STUDENTS
