Intense Competition for Foreign Students Sparks Concerns About U.S. Standing.

Desruisseaux, Paul

Chronicle of Higher Education, v45 n7 pA55-A57 Oct 9 1998

While U.S. colleges and universities are still the top choice of foreign students, the American share of the international education market has shrunk from 40% in the 1980s to 32% today. Educators and government officials are working to develop a strategy for increasing U.S. competitiveness. Australia, Britain, and Canada, the three top competitors, are aggressively recruiting students. (MSE)
