South-East Asia ISBN 92-9223-084-0 ©UNESCO 2006 Published by the UNESCO Asia and Pacific Regional Bureau for Education 920 Sukhumvit Road, Prakanong Bangkok 10110, Thailand Printed in Thailand The designations employed and the presentation of material throughout the pub- lication do not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of UNESCO concerning the legal status of any country, territory, city or area or of its authorities, or concerning its frontiers or boundaries. ii PREFACE South-East Asian countries share many commonalities, yet their political, cultural, socio-economic and environmental conditions are also rich in diversity. Likewise, higher education in the region stems from different historical backgrounds and has undergone various kinds of challenges and various stages of development. The rapid expansion of student enrolment, the knowledge explosion, advances in information and communication technology, globalization, economic restructuring, and financial constraints have all contributed to higher education reforms in these countries and resulted in varied outcomes. Based on a sense of “unity in diversity,” many higher education policy makers and practitioners in the region believe that their higher education systems can benefit from closer cooperation and exchange of lessons learned. To facilitate and enhance this process of sharing and learning, UNESCO Bangkok and SEAMEO RIHED carried out a joint research study and seminar on “A Situational Analysis of Higher Education Reforms in South-East Asian Countries” in 2005.

    1 Faculty Experiences in Delivering an American University Curriculum in an International Branch Campus: A Case Study of the University at Buffalo, the State University of New York Undergraduate Program at the Singapore Institute of Management A dissertation presented by Kevin F. McKelvey to The Graduate School of Education In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Education in the field of International Higher Education College of Professional Studies Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts March 2019 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I dedicate this dissertation to the memory of Professor George W. Gibian (1924-1999), who was my advisor at Cornell University (1986-1991). I would also like to thank the members of my doctoral thesis committee at Northeastern University: Dr. Lynda Beltz, Dr. Kristal Clemons, and Dr. Leslie Hitch. I am especially grateful to Dr. Beltz, whose enthusiasm has been the source of great motivation to me and many of my classmates. I am also very grateful to my colleagues at the University at Buffalo, the State University of New York, and the Singapore Institute of Management. Dr. Stephen Dunnett, the Vice Provost of International Education at UB, in particular, has been a mentor both professionally and personally since I joined UB over 25 years ago, and I am especially thankful for his guidance and persistence throughout this project. Finally, I would like to thank my wife, Jane Garcia McKelvey, who has patiently supported me through the many years of the making of this dissertation. 3 Abstract This instrumental case study explores the experiences of visiting faculty members at an American university’s international branch campus (IBC) in Singapore.
