There is no better way tofacilitate this than by creating educationalexchanges and forging global partnershipsat…higher education institutions across theUnited States.”The U.S. higher education system attractsthe largest number of globally mobilestudents, and the popularity of U.S.postsecondary abroad experience continuesto increase according to the NationalAssociation for College AdmissionCounseling. In the 2008-09 academic year,there was the largest percentage increase ininternational students in nearly 30 years,the Association reported.Loreto’s research gives institutions insight indeveloping strategies to recruit students andimprove their foreign student enrollment. Itwill also give them a competitive advantagein the global marketplace, according to hisresearch.“From a domestic standpoint, internationalstudents in the U.S. contributed almost $15billion to the national economy in 2007 in theform of tuition, fees and living expenses,”he said. “While the U.S. remains the topdestination for international students, theiroverall share has declined as many othernations have actively taken measures toincrease their foreign enrollments. If U.S.institutions wish to remain competitive inthe global market for international students,they need to take a more targeted approachto their outreach efforts,” Loreto stated.“Very few scholarly studies have beenpublished on the factors that influenceinternational students in the decisionmakingprocess to pursue postsecondaryeducation in the U.S.,” says Dr. BonnieFox-Garrity, associate professor of businessat D’Youville and student mentor. “SinceD’Youville enrolls a large number ofinternational students, Mr. Loreto had aunique opportunity to gather data from arelatively large population.
