    Discussion Questions

    The increase in overall enrolments is good news but the disparity between
    US and international growth is a cause for concern. Why?

    Why are STEM fields becoming more popular for international students than
    domestic ones? In what way may this influence access of domestics students
    to these fields?

    The contributions of international graduate students are becoming


    increasingly important to the US graduate education enterprise. Why?
