Growing our international student population – target 10% intl UG in 4-5 years

currently 4.2% (982 of 23,135 UG)

• Revenue • Global learning ‘at home’ for all our students• Workforce supply for Washington• Graduate students in STEM and other areas

Issues/Opportunities:• Integration with domestic/other international students• Diversifying countries/cultures represented at WSU• Competing for students across U.S. and globally

*Education has become a global commodity• Increasing R&D investment/university rankings/jobs at home (will

U.S. students see value in a foreign degree?)

Every WSU student should be graduating with leadership, global and cultural competency

• 40% of jobs in WA tied to international trade (Nov 2012 “International Competitiveness Strategy for

Washington State” by Washington Council on International Trade and the Trade Development Alliance of Greater Seattle)

• 50+% of employers: College graduates should have both field-specific knowledge/skills and a broad range of skills/knowledge

(Jan 2013 AAC&U Survey of 318 employers)
