ABSTRACT

In the rapidly changing circumstances, universities in South Korea have struggled to survive and enhance their competitiveness by globalizing their education. As an important strategy for such educational globalization, transnational higher education expectedly brings to the institutions various benefits in their competitiveness, including diversifying financial resources through exporting educational programs. Focusing on twinning and franchise that are one form of transnational higher education, this study examined their meanings and necessity, the utilization of them in South Korea, the related rules, and the ways to vitalize them. The study found that, despite their expected advantages, twinning and franchise were operated in uncertainty because of ambiguous and abstract rules. By clarifying the rules relating to transnational education, this study suggests the ways to address the problems and vitalize the educational programs that are legally legitimate.
