Collaborative degree programs, such as sequential and dual degree programs, elevate the university’s global brand, provide access to high-quality academic programs and pathways to graduate programs and have the ability to generate significant revenue for the institution.

• Expand collaborative degree programs, using models established by the Jacobs School of Engineering and the School of Global Policy and Strategy together with Global Initiatives.
• Explore ways in which collaborative programs can address concerns over nonresident undergraduate enrollments.
• Identify potential partners with whom UC San Diego can create pipelines that diversify the international graduate student population. 

UC San Diego has an opportunity to integrate global learning experiences within the classroom for all Tritons. Opportunities include:

• Identifying existing global learning opportunities within UC San Diego’s expansive curriculum.
• Exploring possibilities to embed global learning outcomes within both general education and other curricula.
• Expanding and replicating Global Initiatives' faculty-led international and domestic summer programs known as Global Seminars. 

Collaborative International Virtual Exchange is modeled after the State University of New York’s (SUNY) Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL). Conversations with key stakeholders in the UC San Diego Colleges, Schools and the Teaching + Learning Commons indicate that there is enthusiasm for this approach as a method for deepening strategic partnerships and to add value to the student and faculty global experience on a cost-neutral basis for collaborative team. Some forward-thinking strategies include:

• Use COIL-style strategies to deepen existing partnerships.  
• Facilitate opportunities for shared lectures and collaborative activities – even collaborative research – between students attending their normal classes at their respective institutions in different countries.
