Parker (2008). "International Education - What's in a name?". Phi Delta Kappan, Vol. 90, No. 3, pp. 196-202
- Public and private schools in the U.S. increasingly are adopting international education. The author asks, "What is it?" and finds a jumble of meanings and programs. Contradictory forces, such as nationalism and cosmopolitanism, are at play. Thus international education can have very different meanings at different schools.

Bender, Wright, and Lopatto (2009). "Students’ Self-Reported Changes in Intercultural Knowledge and Competence Associated with Three Undergraduate Science Experiences". Frontiers: the Interdisciplinary Journal of Study Abroad XVIII:307-321
- The objective of this study was to asses the value of an international research experience for undergraduates. The authors focused on the impact of two international programs and compared these to the gains achieved by students participating in research on their home campus. The results suggest that all research experiences provide students with opportunities to gain international perspectives to some degree because of the presence of foreign nationals in the on-campus research groups.
