Abstract: A major aspect of the Third World's higher education scene in the post-1945 period has been the expansion of the number and size of universities. Often approaching a tenfold growth, this development was also marked by a remarkable worldwide similarity of curriculum and structures of governance. A factor in the growth and character of these institutions has been the Fulbright program, in concert with the role of the United States as the educator of choice for Third World academic personnel. The contributions of the Fulbright program have been both direct and programmatic, and indirect and incidental, to the process of academic exchange.
