Kansas State University degree programs have been attracting students from countries such as China, Saudi Arabia, and Korea. Assistant Provost,Kristine Young stated:
"What is most exciting about our international enrollment is that it has now more than doubled since 1997 -- the first year K-State began its international student recruitment initiative. We're thrilled our efforts have been meeting with success in such a short time, and we plan to continue recruiting students from all across the globe"Other universities seeing a rise in international student enrollment are Washington State University, which saw a 45 percent increase in their international student freshmen class, and the University of Colorado, Boulder. Director of International Education, Larry Bell:
"Students from around the world help expand classroom discussions, expose domestic students to future potential business and research partners, and contribute in a very positive way to the local Boulder community."With continued recruitment, now is the time to begin your dream of studying in the U.S.A.
