The Internationalisation of U.S. Higher Education in a Time of Declining Resources

Page Content

30 August 2011

The Internationalisation of US Higher Education in a Time of Declining Resources is based on in-depth interviews with 22 experts in the field in the United States and includes a number of case studies of US universities and university systems.

The report provides a background of US higher education and some of the challenges it is facing, with a specific focus on how this is impacting their internationalisation strategies.

While seeking to increase their international student numbers, the strategy and approach by US universities in doing so is diverse and not always coordinated. With inter-state students often paying as much as international students in fees, there a wider range of factors being considered to assist institutions meet budgets, while internationalising.

From an Australian university perspective, the report highlights:

  • more pro-active recruitment of foreign students by US institutions, but in many different ways for different reasons
  • US institutions increasingly seeking in-depth, quality partnerships with foreign institutions (and less partnerships in number) due to declining resources of international offices and
  • US student demographics are changing, and in turn affecting US study abroad opportunities.
