| dc.description | In recent years, U.S. colleges and universities have begun to extend their international
presence through different models of cross-border higher education. This research explores three
models of U.S. higher education in Panama City, Panama: a branch campus, a franchise model
and merger/acquisition models. Using a qualitative approach, this study included a year of
document analysis, classroom observations, interviews, and focus groups. Using the lens of
academic capitalism, the findings place the different models along a continuum of neoliberalism
and the public good. | en |
