Denisa Krbec

Abstract
The processes of internationalization especially in higher education should respect the
uniqueness of individual societies and culture, and - in the face of the forces of globalization
– should also urge understanding and cooperation at academic level. In this context, the
international dimension can be elaborated as a perspective, activity or program which
integrates an intercultural outlook into the major functions of a university.
The Global Business Practicum at Rollins and the collaboration between Rollins
College and University of Pula provide numerous illustrations of what can be learned about
international business by students participating in work-directed projects, and how projects
of international cooperation can be evaluated both according to the ECTS and USA grading
system’s requirements.
