Advancing International and Foreign Language Education Act

The Advancing International and Foreign Language Education Act creates grant programs to support colleges, universities, and community colleges in developing international and foreign language education programs. It authorizes research to assess current capacity, develop new teaching approaches, and establish a national database tracking international education programs and outcomes. The bill includes special provisions to support minority-serving institutions and requires professional education programs (like business, health, and engineering) to integrate global skills and international perspectives. It sets funding rules requiring 50% non-federal funding for participating institutions, with flexibility for minority-serving institutions and community colleges.
