Abstract:
Faculty in the College of Agriculture and Home Economics at Washington State University differ little from their peers in other colleges in terms of overseas experiences. There was a positive relationship between international content of courses taught and participation in long term overseas activities. Faculty generally reported an increased ability to both teach and conduct research as a result of long term overseas assignments. The sometimes alleged negative consequences for tenure, promotion, salary and overall professional activities were not supported by responses from faculty.
