The Boston College center for international higher education further discusses efforts in the global attempt to internationalize higher education. The analysis goes on to discuss the last 3 categories of different policies and programs worldwide that focus on enriching internationalization. The policy categories include Cross-border education, internationalization at home, and comprehensive internationalization strategies. Most noteworthy category seems to be the Cross-border education. This type of education provides a more flexible movement of people and services across borders. While internationalization at home brings the services to the country which enables  international learning experience at the comfort of their home university.

The article goes on to discuss that aside from the seemingly positive attitude towards implementing and carrying out international policies there can be various challenges . ACE suggest there are a few external factors that may cause some problems . The focal eternal factor being financial support. As the article mentioned other factors can be groups of people as well as dedication to carrying out such policies can also hinder the processes. I find it that there can be the carefully selected group of people and much dedication put towards policy changes for international education, but personally what generally most hindering of internationalization prospering is the lack of funds that are placed into higher education.

According to College statistics, students all over the world  leave college with large amounts of student loan debt. Which in turn poses a financial challenge for students to be able to attend college let alone travel abroad  with such high sticker prices for tuition. However, there may be hope yet. Cross-border education involving e-learning may become a very beneficial and cost effective form of higher education internationalization. According to a recent analysis conducted by the University of Geneva for cross-border education suggests there is a more inclusive and much more achievable way for internationalization via web-based learning from international universities. This method can be very cost efficient. Then it will all come down to the implementation of correct policies to make e-learning a reliable qualification that will carry the same weight as a traditional diploma.

Lastly ACE discusses  that internationalization has not  been promoted in longitudinal studies on a more grand scale. Although international learning dates back to the 1920’s in the US alone, and much further in other countries . There is yet time to see what type of  roads policymakers will take to help internationalization prosper.
