German-American Fulbright Programs
German-American Fulbright Commission established in 1952 – celebrated its 60th anniversary
The largest of 52 bilateral programs with 700 German & American participants in 30 programs annually
The International Education Administrators Seminar included 20 participants from around the USA with a variety of institutions and diversity of professional roles

Higher Education in Germany
2-track system for high school graduates “Arbitur” exam for universities Technical training for others
3-tiered system of universities & technical schools Traditional Research Universities Applied Sciences Universities Vocational -Technical Institutes
Degree Structure Bachelor degree = 3 years Master degree = 2 years Doctoral (PhD) = 3-5 years

Lessons on Higher Ed Structure
American community colleges are like bridges between the technical-cooperative education training and the applied sciences universities in Germany
Germans recognizes the value of workforce training more than Americans; every person is trained for their job in Germany from retail to auto tech to teacher to computer science to academic
Germany has relatively few private universities compared to the USA
![Page 5: Fulbright presentation - Randy Bush](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110120/5585568ed8b42a2d498b4f5a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Leadership of University & Faculty
Germans emphasize “self-administration” – a democratic, bottom-up process for selecting leaders
University Leadership is “elected” from the faculty by faculty, staff and students – Faculty Council elects Dean, Executive Committee elects Chancellor, for example
Deans, Vice-Presidents & Chancellors serve a 4-year term and then stand for reelection and return to the faculty when finished
![Page 6: Fulbright presentation - Randy Bush](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110120/5585568ed8b42a2d498b4f5a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Faculty Workload
Faculty in Applied Science universities must have 5 years experience working in industry or private sector and a doctorate in their teaching field
Teaching load is 18 hours per week; research and publication are not expected, except in Traditional Research universities
Faculty are “civil servants” with tenure after two years and are paid by the state; 80% or more are full-time, few are adjuncts who generally teach one class
![Page 7: Fulbright presentation - Randy Bush](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110120/5585568ed8b42a2d498b4f5a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Lessons on Leadership & Faculty
Contrast between German “self-administration” and American “professional administration” where administrators may originate from the faculty but tend to become career administrators with much different hiring process
American administrative style is more “top-down”(hierarchical) in contrast to German “bottom-up” (democratic) approach
American institutions increasingly employ part-time adjuncts rather than full-time faculty; ratios are almost reversed with 20% full-time/tenured in the US, compared 80% in Germany
![Page 8: Fulbright presentation - Randy Bush](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110120/5585568ed8b42a2d498b4f5a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Students, Student Services & Student Life
Nearly all German students are 18-26 years old, very few non-traditional students (only 5% have children)
Among Germans, 46% go to universities and 47% go to vocational-technical institutes; few do not attend post-secondary schools
German students pay no tuition, only nominal fees ($500 per year); students receive housing and transit subsidies from the state ($600 per month for up to 10 semesters)
German students focus entirely on their major subject; no general education; most get some work experience in 3rd year
![Page 9: Fulbright presentation - Randy Bush](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110120/5585568ed8b42a2d498b4f5a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Student Services
German institutions provide fewer student services and spend 40% less per student than American institutions
German culture sees 18 year olds as “adults” and encourages them to be independent
Student Services are provided through a Nat’l Assoc. of Student Affairs; 2/3 of funding comes from revenues for dining and residential halls, 1/3 from student fees & state
Students Services are understaffed and recognized as an area that needs further development in Germany
![Page 10: Fulbright presentation - Randy Bush](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110120/5585568ed8b42a2d498b4f5a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Student Life
Student Life in Germany revolves around academics and student government; with a few other student clubs
There are no university sports programs
There are no college health services due to universal health care
Most students get job training through cooperative ed
International students are more than 10 percent at most universities in Germany (compared to 3.5% in USA)
![Page 11: Fulbright presentation - Randy Bush](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110120/5585568ed8b42a2d498b4f5a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Lessons on Students, Student Service & Student Life
In Germany higher education is a “common good” which is fully funded by the state with little cost to the student, whereas in the USA higher education is more of an “individual good” which is increasingly funded by the student through tuition with declining contributions by the state.
German students focus on academics and complete bachelor degrees in 3 years compared to American students who average 6 years for bachelor degrees, but must take general education reqs and have a broader student life experience
American colleges provide many more student services, but Germany students get more work experience

How Butler can Benefit from Involvement with International
Education
Butler has a well-established international student program, but international enrollment is declining
Butler Faculty and Student Services staff show strong support for the International Program in a Fall survey
Butler faculty, staff and international students have very positive experiences interacting with each other
Faculty, staff & international students support increased funding for the International Program

Benefits of International EducationFinal Proposals
Recognize the revenue generated by the international student program and commit a portion to reinvestment
Invest in recruiting more international students
Establish a scholarship program for international students that rewards academic excellence
Expand efforts to develop study abroad opportunities for Butler students and faculty
Support professional development for international education
Emphasize “internationalization” across the college
