Buffalo, NY – This week, WBFO begins an ambitious series of reports that will take an in-depth look at a burgeoning global industry -- off shore higher education. The collaborative effort with the University at Buffalo takes WBFO's Joyce Kryszak to one of UB's international branch campuses in Singapore.
For the next two weeks, Joyce will provide daily reports with behind the scenes snapshots of UB's degree programs, students and faculty in Singapore. When she returns, the series continues with weekly features exploring some of the deeper cultural, economic and political implications of the new globalized schoolhouse concept.
Joyce filed this overview of our series before setting out for Singapore Monday. Click the "listen" icon above to hear the story now or use your podcasting software to download it to your computer or iPod.
