Abstract
International educational programs are becoming more global in these days. Joint degree programs initiated by world universities are gaining importance and are being implemented around the world. A recent study report found that about a third of all international undergraduate students in England transferred from program delivered offshore. Another Canadian survey notes that a number of institutions offering programs in collaboration with international partners have nearly doubled since 2006. SIT is also interested to uncover why joint degree (JD) programmes and dual degree (DD) programmes maintain an increasing trend in the world frontier. In the first year, we had tried to look at a survey in order to assess how world universities are performing in JD/DD programmes, its major challenges and try to comprehend regarding implementation methodologies for degree systems into SIT graduate school program. In this program, we considered their world ranking, location of the university, and their field of interest. Further, we also visited specific institutions in USA and Asia and met with specific experts in this field to implement DD/JD program at SIT and more details are presented.
