I had a little help finding this article, but I find it particularly interesting because it’s a fairly recent study done on the burgeoning field of International Education Master’s programs, like the one some of us are in.

The thing I want to point out most is the methodology of research. It attempts to draw it’s participants into a kind of “conversation” by surveying twice, the second time with averaged answers from the first round – Standards of Quality for Masters Degree Programs
