Description

This volume documents the experiences of international students and recent international initiatives at US community colleges to better understand how to support and nurture students’ potential.

Offering a range of case studies, empirical and conceptual chapters, the collection showcases the unique curricula and diverse opportunities for career development that colleges can offer international students. International Students at US Community Colleges addresses issues of student access, enrolment barriers, college choice, and challenges relating to integration in academic and professional networks.

Ultimately, the book unpacks institutional factors which inhibit or promote the success of international students at US community colleges to inform faculty, student affairs, administration, and institutional policy.

With international students’ declining enrollment, this book considers the measures being taken by community college officials to bring continued access and equity to international students.

Offering insights from a range of international scholars as well as on-the-ground case studies, this text will benefit researchers, academics, and educators with an interest in multicultural education, international and comparative education, and higher education management.

Those specifically interested in educational policy and the sociology of education will also benefit from this book.
