Advances in science are often associated with pre-eminent research universities. Policy makers and those who collaborate with university researchers may assume that this advantage generalizes to all types of research. This analysis explores whether this generalization applies to research in emerging disciplines. We do so by examining the…

Selecting a major is one of the most consequential decisions a student will make in college. Though major selection is often conceived of as a discrete choice made at a particular point in time, many students change their majors at least once during college. This article examines the process of changing majors as a key education transition.…

Top-down strategies for curriculum internationalization (CI) often neglect discipline-specific preferences in content and teaching methods. This limited understanding of how content is prioritized across disciplines makes relying on a single implementation plan impractical. To supplement the few, almost exclusively qualitative, studies on this…

Mathematics education forms the foundational framework for cultivating crucial skills and competencies vital for navigating an ever more intricate and numerical society. Despite its significance, students often encounter challenges and express reluctance towards certain mathematical topics, thus warranting a deeper exploration into the factors…

As blockchain technology, along with its convergence to other emerging technologies such as AI and the Internet of Things, shows promising pilot projects across industries, academic institutions are tasked with preparing students for careers in this rapidly evolving field. To address the growing demand for blockchain professionals, specialized…
