E-mail: sgundsam@fulbrightmail.orgInternationalization has become a driving motivation for reform in higher education. Higher education reform brings changes in practice, culture, and environment where the internationalization can take place. The government of Mongolia acknowledges internationalization as a pathway towards improving the quality of higher education and increasing the ranking status of domestic higher education institutions in Asia. Following this government policy, education providers are striving to internationalize their institutions. This paper aims to discuss the current process of reforms in higher education as well as national and institutional policies and initiatives towards internationalization. The paper also explores the concept of English Medium Instruction in Mongolian higher education institutions as a growing global phenomenon of internationalization. This paper does not intend to evaluate the internationalization process of universities and /or their strategies.
