Across the world, higher education institutions play an important role as countries strive to participate competitively in the international knowledge economy and support the well-being of their citizens. While specific national contexts vary, within most countries in Asia, higher education is experiencing a rapid expansion, a process accompanied by both promise and challenge.

Dr. Chapman and Dr. Austin will draw on a recent international study to discuss issues pertaining to quality, efficiency, and effectiveness of higher education within the Asian context. Dr. Chandra, Director of the MSU Asian Studies Center, will provide comments to enrich the conversation. We are asking participants to register in advance for planning purposes.
