The primary objective of this study was to identify the impacts of globalization on higher education and create awareness of the need for rethinking in educational practices in higher education curriculum. The information in this article was obtained through review of literature; articles published in peer review journals from the search engines and published books. Although there are many definitions of curriculum, here the focus is on the definition by Hass (1987) which states that curriculum is “all of the experiences that individual learners have in a program of education whose purpose is to achieve broad goals and related specific objectives, which is planned in terms of a framework of theory and research or past or present professional practice”. (p5). Findings reveal that globalization is complex system, involving a large number of integrated components operating together and characterized by constant changes. Although globalization is not a new phenomenon, current trends show that it is exploding every nation in a very high speed. Global issues challenge higher education every day and thus education can no longer be seen in a strictly national context. This paper focuses on the impacts of globalization on higher education curriculum. It will examine how globalization challenges the ways we have traditionally conceptualize higher education curriculum. The primary objective of this study was to identify the impacts of globalization on higher education curriculum and to create awareness of the need for rethinking in educational practices in higher education instructions.
