Not the best evidence of these processes is the general haste with which in recent years, introducing foreign affiliate programs and organize. After September 11, 2001 export education has become fashionable, and the pace of overseas expansion increased across the range of institutions that form the topography of the landscape of higher education - from commercial offices and online dyplomokombinativ that grow the fastest, and the so-called land-grant universities and more elite Ivy League universities ["Ivy League (Ivy League) - the oldest association of eight universities in the northeastern United States.
