This paper explores the impact of Sino-Overseas Joint Education Program (SOJEP) on the Internationalization of Higher Education (IHE) in Chinese southwestern area. Study focuses on the experiment research of two universities' internationalization construction in this region in order to investigate how much Sino-Overseas Joint Education Program (SOJEP) can improve the degree of Internationalization of Higher Education (IHE) and the satisfaction from SOJEP staff and students. With very close comprehensive strength of the university and similar degree of internationalization construction as well as being located in the similar area, it is hypothesized that the experimental university will undergo significant changes in the degree of internationalization construction and has a certain degree of improvement in the satisfaction of the program's staff and students as well as the comprehensive strength of the university after the implementation of Sino-Overseas Joint Education Program(SOJEP).Through the 2-year experiment, the internationalization level and the overall comprehensive strength in the experimental group have changed significantly after the successful implementation of Sino-Overseas Joint Education Program(SOJEP), and the experimental university have had obvious advantageous changes compared with the control university. And the reputation and fame of the experimental university is better in terms of the satisfaction of the students and teachers involved in the program. The research concludes that the Sino-Overseas Joint Education Program (SOJEP) has obvious effect on the improvement of internationalization level of universities in southwestern China, and that the leaders at higher education institutions should consider it as a tool with which to manage and evolve their internationalization strategies.
