WEBINAR DESCRIPTION:

For many U.S. colleges and universities, recruiting international students is a key component of overall strategies to advance comprehensive internationalization. While demand for U.S. higher education is strong worldwide, the field of institutions seeking to attract talented international students is expanding – both in the U.S. and abroad.

At the same time, the demographics and other characteristics of internationally mobile students are changing. In order to attract a diverse pool of students who are well prepared to succeed in their unique campus context, institution leaders need to understand who today’s international students are, where they are from, what they are looking for, and how they choose a U.S. college or university.

In this webinar, leading experts who have tackled this task will present innovative and in-depth analyses of international student data from a variety of sources, and explore its implications for institutions’ recruitment strategies and on-campus support practices.

SPECIFIC TOPICS WILL INCLUDE:

• Where students are from, and where they’re going
• Funding sources
• Background, language ability, and academic preparation
• Motivations for studying in the U.S.
• Desired degree programs
• Decision process for selecting a U.S. institution
