Abstract :
A small state college computer science department may evolve to become a strong participant in globalized technological education by paying attention to actual student demographics and choosing to act to support and enhance the presence of a significant percentage of international students. The paper describes the background of one department´s realization of its international role, its response and experience in implementing globalized computer science education, and its plans for integrating international students as an essential art of the overall student body.
