Abstract: This qualitative study was conducted to investigate international students’ conception of the internationalization of business education in Taiwan. Qualitative data was collected in the form of field notes and transcripts of semi-structured, in-depth interviews with 32 international students from various business schools in Taiwan. The participants expressed four descriptive categories of conception, which were identified using a phenomenographic approach. These findings led to several implications, as well as some recommendations to improve the content and context of the sustainable international program in order to ensure more effective learning outcomes in this era of mandatory educational reform.
