In \u00a02012, an International Education Committee (IEC) was charged to identify and research areas of incredible strengths and areas of possible development. Through this research they developed a ‘Comprehensive Internationalization Plan’ that is set to begin implementation for the 2015-2016 Academic Year.<\/p>\n

The International Education Committee (IEC) was charged by the Provost\u2019s office to prepare a definition of a \u2018meaningful international experience\u2019. Through this definition, the College will have the ability to expand international academic opportunities, ensure greater consistency in the outcomes of these experiences and support academic programs interested in inclusion of these activities within their curricular program design. Throughout the process to develop this document the IEC consulted with faculty in a variety of ways. Through review of this feedback, the IEC felt that it is most important for specific activities to be defined and designed within each academic program to ensure practice and theoretical relevance. The idea is not that EVERY course includes a MIE, but that the program include a MIE as an integral part of the entire academic program as a graduation requirement. Therefore, what follows is general information on meaningful international experiences.<\/p>\n

Ramapo College has always held international education as core principle. In the development of the College\u2019s current Strategic Plan, designed by a task force comprised of faculty, staff, students and trustees, there is specific mention about the importance of international education. The Ramapo College Strategic Plan<\/a>, (Achievement Target 1.1.2) calls for \u201850% of undergraduate major programs [to] require successful engagement by graduation in a meaningful international experience\u2019.\u00a0 Over the last few years, this was defined simply as any academic program that has been approved through the Roukema Center for International Education. Any participant received transcription in the INTD 011 \u2013 International Academic Experience<\/em> \u2013 course (0 credits) in order to have this integrate with the degree audit process. Therefore, any program that currently required such a requirement could easily identify a student\u2019s satisfaction of said requirement. Therefore, the International Education Committee has prepared the following document to help guide the disciplines on what is a \u2018meaningful international experience\u2019 (MIE), through this expanded definition.<\/p>\n
