Higher education, science, and technology have always been international endeavors, but have acquired new dimensions and features in recent years due to Globalization. As a result, studies on Globalization of Higher Education are gaining importance against the backdrop of numerous changes that have taken place in communications and Information Technology (IT). Internationally, majority of the institutions offering Higher Education are making attempts to revise their orientations and strategies in the light of the interplay of these Global influences. This has serious implications for academicians as well.
