How much money does the international student population bring to YOUR school?

Share

NAFSA just released its 2010 report on international students and the money they contribute to the US economy. How much of the $18.8 billion (yes, with “B”) is YOUR school getting?
Find out here.

I was at the NAFSA Region X conference last week, and heard a great discussion topic about the power of education in the international arena. The speaker made the point that education counts as an export. Think about it: a student pays money…and leaves the country with an education.It’s no different that someone buying a television set from China or a Volvo from Sweden.

And when you think about it in terms or real US dollars…it kind of puts a new emphasis on the importance of your international recruiting strategy, no?
