Publications on Global Student Mobility

The annual Open Doors Report provides a longstanding, comprehensive statistical analysis of academic mobility between the United States and the nations of the world. Open Doors, published with support from the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the U.S. Department of State, features graphic displays, especially data maps, tables, figures, and to-the-point policy-oriented analysis. Available at www.iiebooks.org/propdo201.html.

Against the backdrop of student mobility trends, this report provides a broad view of what 17 key countries are doing at the national and institutional level to attract international students and to send more of their own students abroad. This book focuses not on the mobility data itself, but rather on its context: the internationalization policies and strategies that ultimately drive mobility numbers for each host and sending country. Each of the country sections is authored by a national academic mobility research institution or organization privy to in-depth knowledge of their country's internationalization strategies. Available at www.iiebooks.org/stmoandinofh.html.

This book describes and analyzes current information on how and why students choose their study abroad destinations, and the ways in which national policies in a variety of host and sending countries impact students' decisions. This report also provides a thorough analysis of the Exchange Visitor Program in the United States, using statistics provided to the authors by the U.S. Department of State.
