Abstract
College tuition costs have increased more than two-fold, and the Educational Data Initiative anticipates an annual cost of $36,436 and a compound annual growth rate increase of 2% per year moving forward. According to the Journal of International Students, non-U.S. students are an attractive revenue source. However, due to geopolitics and immigration policies, the number of non-American students has declined in the past few years. Smaller colleges will be negatively affected. Global University is one such example. At one point, over one-third of its students were from outside the U.S., but 90% were still waiting to return to America to attend physically. This paper aims to analyze this university's challenges and then develop and discuss a comprehensive strategy as recommendations to Global University's leadership team.
