Can a better admissions experience increase international student enrollment?

Can a better admissions experience increase international student enrollment?

Choosing to study in the U.S. is an exciting step for international applicants and prospective students. The admissions process, however, can be confusing and overwhelming. From researching schools and programs to completing applications to understanding financing and visa – international students often navigate this with limited or disjointed information.

Recovering from the pandemic, U.S. universities are seeing an uptick in international enrollment. However, the numbers have been declining over the past few years. More than ever, it’s crucial to reevaluate how institutions are attracting, engaging, and supporting international students.

  • Key topics of information international students want to know
