Sustainability in transnational higher education is a key concern (Chaney, 2012), for transnational higher education is helpful regarding serving the increasing demands of students and expanded global education partnership. Academically, the changes of mechanism of transnational higher education indicate the significance of sustainability of transnational higher education in the global market. We conducted a systematic review for mapping the main features and notable trends of studies on sustainability of transnational higher education. The screening result includes 49 articles that are most relevant to our studied topic. Based on the systematic review results, we built the four-pillar framework (national, social, institutional and individual) and found emerging and important themes including social impact from transnational higher education programs, cooperation among transnational higher education institutions, and curriculum and teaching methods in transnational higher education institutions.
