The study of international students’ mobility is one of the popular topics in higher education. Many studies focus on international students’ mobility for obtaining a degree. But, few studies focus on international students’ mobility for gaining credits. This paper aims to clarify the reality of international students’ mobility for credits in Korean universities.
International students’ mobility in Korean universities can be divided into three university types. It is thought that each of these university types has a different management policy on international students’ mobility for credits. Because each of these university has different global or regional linkages and networks.
And then, in this paper, these universities’ behavior are classified into four patterns to analyze.
There is also a tendency for international students’ mobility to occur within East Asia. Universities in this region are not large and are located in rural areas. However, no research was conducted with these universities. Therefore, this paper concludes and suggests that these universities form the subject of future case study research to clarify their management behavior.
