Abstract

As a world-renowned institution, Harvard University has developed a modern university model with American characteristics through innovative practices in the development of world-class universities. In this process, the internationalization of education at Harvard has formed a significant positive feedback mechanism, whereas low-level openness often falls into a negative feedback loop due to a lack of solid foundations. This phenomenon underscores the intrinsic link between the level of higher education development and the quality of openness. Only through high-level construction can the strategic goal of high-level openness be achieved.
