  • Social Sciences and Humanities,
  • Business and Economics,
  • Teaching and Education, and
  • Technology and Science.

Delegates may take complimentary tours during the conference in a rigorously planned educational and cultural program. Click here for more information.

The Journal

The International Journal of Arts & Sciences (IJAS) was founded in 2005 as a double-blind refereed journal. Its first issue was published one year later in hard-copy format. Each issue was driven by a call for papers focusing on a particular topic such as the above 2007 collection of pedagogical articles. In 2008, the journal adopted a two-pronged strategy to reach out beyond American academia to a truly global audience. First, it launched a series of refereed international conferences promoting both traditional research and study abroad programs. Second, with effect from late 2009, the journal started disseminating its research in electronic format. Its editorial board welcomes submissions from universities around the world. IJAS recognizes the best research papers and contributors to international education through competitive awards. The journal is indexed in both American and European databases and is increasingly accessed through Google Scholar.
