Abstract
At first sight it might seem strange that the State University of New York’s Empire State College (ESC) has an international presence and academic programs in countries such as the Czech Republic and Greece. It could certainly be reasoned that, as a state university, its efforts should be exclusively directed toward the local community and state residents. Of course, in an era of increased globalization and boundaryless online education, it might be expected that some ESC learners would be located throughout the world, but why should the College maintain a separate and active presence abroad?
