Transnational Education, or TNE, is the delivery and or assessment of programs/courses by an accredited provider in a country other than the provider’s home country, where delivery includes a face-to-face component.  (Adapted from AEI white paper April 2005)

Western Michigan University is a global leader in facilitating Transnational Education (TNE) programs.  Formerly known as “twinning programs,” TNE has a 20-year history at WMU.  The first program was launched in 1987 at Sunway College in Malaysia; currently the University hosts six TNE programs in Asia and Africa.
