Academic mobility in Latin America and the Caribbean: patterns and prospects

  • Farrugia, Christine Institute of International Education, IIE

Abstract

While its scale has been relatively limi­ted, international student and scholar mobility to and from Latin America and the Caribbean has played a growing role in the internationalization of higher edu­cation institutions in recent years. This article describes the current landscape of international higher education mobi­lity in Latin America and the Caribbean, including the region’s global position in international mobility; the current scale and patterns of inbound and outbound students and scholars; analysis of the dri­vers of mobility; and discussion of future prospects.
