Welcome to the U.S.-Japan Higher Education Engagement Study (USJP HEES), an online searchable and multilingual database about current U.S.-Japan higher education institutional partnerships created by the American Council on Education (ACE) with support from the Japan Foundation Center for Global Partnership.
The U.S.-Japan Higher Education Engagement Study (USJP HEES) houses information on over 4,000 current U.S.-Japan higher education institutional partnerships, including information about physical and virtual exchanges, research collaborations and consortiums, dual/joint degree programs, and workforce development initiatives. In addition to the data, USJP HEES research offers analysis about ways to strengthen U.S.-Japan bilateral and global higher education engagement for colleges and universities, policymakers, and other stakeholders.
ACE envisioned the creation of this living central repository for capturing the strands of data that exist on U.S.-Japan higher education institutional engagement.
The ultimate goals of USJP HEES are to improve mutual understanding and cooperation within the U.S.-Japan higher education community and to capitalize on its strengths within the global higher education context.
