Criteria for Compilation: This dictionary has been compiled over many years, paying special attention to the decisions of experts in the distinct areas of specialization. In general, the University of Navarra has chosen to adopt the "American International" style for the names of programs and departments, while avoiding terminology which is specific to the U.S. alone.

Authorship: The initial work on this dictionary was performed by David Isaacs and Alban d'Entremont; it has been updated and enlarged by Erik Norvelle and Ruth Breeze. The Internet adaptation was by the Office of Innovación Educativa. Jaime Nubiola and Carlos Martinez-Thiem have also contributed to its enlargement.

Comments/Suggestions: We welcome your comments and suggestions on how to improve this dictionary. You may send your comments to dictionary@unav.es.

Other Dictionaries: The Texas Guaranteed Student Loan Corporation maintains an extensive glossary of academic and related terminology. Finally, Eurydice maintains an glossary of academic terminology for the European community (their terminology follows British rather than American standards).
