Abstract

The purpose of the study was to identify the characteristics that will describe an internationalized state Extension system. The study used a modified Delphi technique to explore and describe the characteristics of an internationalized state Extension system. By consensus of the Delphi Panel, five critical elements were identified. Extension systems can use these as criteria to make initial assessments on the level of internationalization present.
