To study the characteristics of the curriculum with an intercultural approach, after conducting structured interview with 6 experts in the field of curriculum studies and higher education management, the main categories as well as subcategories of the process were extracted during the coding procedure, and as the research results revealed, the categories identified in the paradigm model with axial phenomenon included requirements (2 dimensions, 1 spectrum), objectives (2 dimensions, 1 spectrum), content attributes (2 dimensions, 2 spectrum), teaching – learning methods (1 dimension, 1 spectrum), teacher’s characteristics (2 dimension, 2 spectrums), assessment (1 dimension, 1 spectrum), causal conditions (dimensions of internal and external factors in the effective–neutral spectrum), contextual conditions (extra-organizational, intra organizational and trans organizational dimensions in broad–limited spectrum), intermediary conditions (dimensions of internal and external factors in the effective – neutral spectrum), strategies (dimension of intercultural paradigm in the stable–unstable spectrum) and consequences (comprehensive development dimension in the advanced–non advanced spectrum) which displayed the components of curriculum pattern in the higher education of Iran using an intercultural approach.
