Abstract

This theoretical study explores the role of cultural intelligence (CQ) in international student education. By analyzing existing academic literature and conceptual frameworks, this paper examines the four core dimensions of cultural intelligence. The findings show that understanding cultural intelligence helps university students reduce cultural misunderstandings, improve cross-cultural communication, and succeed in global academic settings.
