Comments
This course was a great introduction to the international education field. As someone who has worked in the field for several years but doesn’t have formal education on the topic, I appreciated that this course started with the basics and history and advanced into concepts and theories that are newer to the field. If you’re looking for an entry point into the topic or if you’ve worked in IE for years, this course is a very informative and thought-provoking opportunity.
