Abstract
This is a commentary on the rationale for globalizing programs in research and graduate education at agricultural universities. The case of U.S. land-grant universities is used to present the argument that globalizing research and graduate education has numerous advantages. However, the concepts may apply to agricultural universities in many countries. The authors make the case that the advantages for globalizing research and graduate education greatly outweigh any disadvantages and that globalization provides one strategy towards the continued improvement of research and graduate education at agricultural universities.
