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.
