International Higher Education is the quarterly publication of the Center for International Higher Education at Boston College (USA). Through International Higher Education, a network of distinguished international scholars offers commentary and current information on key issues that shape higher education worldwide.
Published since 1995 by the Boston College Center for International Higher Education (CIHE), International Higher Education (IHE) is the world’s oldest continuously published source of news and analysis of global higher education.
Our mission is to provide insightful, informed, and high-quality commentary and analysis on trends and issues of importance to higher education systems, institutions, and stakeholders around the world. As such, since our establishment, IHE has aimed to be globally representative, both in terms of the topics covered and the authors represented.
Our contributors are drawn from a broad network of distinguished international scholars, policymakers, and leaders, who are well-positioned to offer critical perspectives on key issues and trends that shape higher education worldwide.
The IHE editorial team is also committed to the principle of linguistic diversity. As a result, content from IHE is translated into Arabic, Chinese, Portuguese, Spanish and Vietnamese by partners in Brazil, Chile, China, Qatar and Vietnam. DUZ Magazin für Wissenschaft und Gesellschaft, the main magazine serving German-speaking higher education, published by DUZ Verlags und Medienhaus GmbH in Germany, includes the English version in its magazine.
IHE is distributed all over the world to individual subscribers based in over 100 countries and via partnerships with the International Association of Universities (IAU), the Association of Indian Universities (AIU), the Association of African Universities (AAU), and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD).
CIHE and IHE partner with international publications, including Taleem: The Arabic and English Higher Education Journal, published by the Qatar Foundation; the Journal of International Higher Education, published by the School of Education at Shanghai Jiao Tong University; and Educación Superior en América Latina (ESAL), published by a consortium of partners in Brazil, Chile, and Colombia.
