本文从制度层面对中国的跨国高等教育进行了实证研究。分析的单位是跨国高等教育项目的中国合作大学。通过对研究型大学和教学型大学的比较，本研究发现这两类大学对跨国高等教育项目的发展和认知是不同的。对于教学型大学来说，跨国高等教育主要用于扩大招生。这是校园里最活跃的国际化活动。对于研究型大学，特别是顶尖研究型大学来说，跨国高等教育的主要功能是为那些渴望获得高级专业学位的人提供学术机会。这只是校园里众多国际化活动之一。教学大学倾向于更多地利用跨国高等教育来创造收入和降低成本。
This article presents an empirical study of transnational higher education in China at the institutional level. The units of analysis are the Chinese partner universities of transnational higher education programs. Through comparison of research universities and teaching universities, the study finds that transnational higher education programs are developed and perceived differently by these two categories of universities. For teaching universities, transnational higher education is mainly used to expand enrollment. It is the most active internationalization activity on campus. For research universities, especially top research universities, transnational higher education’s major function is to provide academic opportunities for those aspiring for advanced professional degrees. It is only one of the many internationalization activities on campus. Teaching universities tend to use transnational higher education more to generate revenue and reduce cost.
