This survey was made possible through a summer research grant obtained by the authors from the University of Montana School of Business Administration. The questionnaire draft was developed based on existing literature, previous internationalization surveys conducted in the field and the authors’ own experience dealing with curriculum internationalization issues and practices. Survey packets were mailed to 614 U.S. institutions listed in the AASCB Membership Directory. Each academic institution was sent one survey packet, even if more than one area within the institution was listed in the directory. The survey packet included an original cover letter, the questionnaire, a postage-paid reply envelope, and a ‘‘respondent’’ postcard to be sent back separately to request a summary of the results. The entire survey process included the original and two follow-up mailings (postcard reminders). Two hundred sixty-four (264) questionnaires were returned for an overall response rate of 42.9%.3The questionaire used in the study is depicted in Appendix A.

N2 - This study provides results of a survey of business curriculum internationalization at AACSB member U.S. colleges and universities. The majority of member schools have substantially increased international exposure at their institutions during the 1990s. Diverse methods of internationalization remain. Joint programs, student and faculty exchanges andforeign language requirements are increasingly in place. Elective specialized international courses are the dominant method of curriculum internationalization, but many schools also add international content to existing non-international courses.
