Implications for Student Affairs

  • Internationalization is accelerating/increasing

at 64% of U.S. institutions.

  • Key drivers:

1) Student global competence 2) Recruiting international students

slide-9
SLIDE 9

Global Competence

  • Low U.S. study abroad rates
  • Numbers are growing
  • 9.4% of undergraduates (Open Doors 2014)
  • Internationalizing Curriculum is a mixed picture
  • Stated as a top priority
  • General education requirements vary
  • Can be hard to change

Co-curriculum plays an important role in developing students’ global competence

slide-10
SLIDE 10

International Students

Emphasis on recruiting

  • Strategic plans & enrollment targets
  • Use of outside agents

Numbers are up (Open Doors, 2014)

  • 8.1% increase in 2013/14
  • 886,052 students total

Concerns

  • Adequate support services
  • Success and retention
  • Demographic imbalances
  • “Flags in the cafeteria”

Support for international students is crucial.

“While efforts to recruit international students are on the rise, the data do not show a commensurate increase in support services for these students, or activities that facilitate interaction and mutual learning with American peers.” – American Council on Education 2012
