US Higher Education Report:
Do international students
want what you’re offering?
Assessing your institution’s program portfolio
Authored by Dr Rajika Bhandari for Oxford International
Read the latest Oxford International report on assessing U.S institutions' program portfolio against student demand.
U.S. institutions need to ensure their program offering aligns with student demand, domestic and international, to attract students for undergraduate, postgraduate and – more recently – micro-credential study. Our latest report, authored by education expert, Dr Rajika Bhandari, delves into market shifts and opportunities for U.S. institutions looking to refine their program portfolio.
In this report, we will answer the following questions:
- How has demand for various subject areas and programs of study shifted over time amongst international students who plan to study in the U.S.?
- How do current shifts and trends across industry, the labor market, and national policies impact and shape international student demand?
- What are the key takeaways for U.S. institutions on how to rethink and align their programs and course offerings to attract international students?
