▼ Projected to reach one million people next year, international students in the United States are undergoing a transformative educational migration. Moving away from the existing study abroad paradigm is the first step to more accurately understand the lived experience of an educational migrant. Discovering the perceptions of what value an American education holds and accomplishes for students back home is central to revealing the major conditions and influences both propelling educational migration, the experience, and the course, features, and impacts of reentry migration. What prompts students to engage in this risky transformative activity? How can U.S. academic institutions better adapt to the international student experience by adapting a lens of migration? What is the role of cultural capital acquired while abroad in the process of reentry migration? Is the reentry process facilitated by the educational objectives obtained in the U.S? This study examines the lived experience of South Korea and Saudi Arabians as a window into the lives of international students as educational migrants. Acquiring cultural capital - the personal resources and assets an individual uses to negotiate their social environment - abroad is perceived as a way to better navigate the conditions of economic precarity. However, what unfolds is a significant transformative experience in the interstices of liminal spaces abroad that often results into a liminal condition upon reentry migration. The role of cultural capital acquired from the educational migration process has a stronger influence than the actual educational achievements obtained. This research seeks to work towards an anthropology of higher education, bringing the topic of student mobility into an anthropological frame in order to expand scholarship and inform educational curriculum and policy affecting the international student experience.

▼ With the exponential growth in international students pursing postsecondary degrees in the U.S., an increasing number of faculty members and staff have raised questions and concerns about supporting international students’ academic engagement. Although prior studies have explored the educational experiences of international students in the United States (U.S.), few have investigated international student engagement at four-year institutions. Little is known about the engagement and overall institutional satisfaction of Chinese international students (CISs), the top represented international student group in the U.S., and how their experiences compare to those of U.S. domestic students (U.S. students). In this quantitative study, I compared CIS and U.S. student engagement in effective learning strategies (LS), collaborative learning (CL), and student-faculty interaction (SF), which may be influenced by culture, at U.S. four-year colleges and universities. I also examined the relationship between LS, CL, SF, and overall institutional satisfaction, and compared how such relationships vary between CISs and U.S. students. Finally, I investigated the variations of LS, CL, SF, and overall institutional satisfaction between first-year and senior CISs, and I explored whether class standing moderates the effect of country of origin on LS, CL, SF, and overall institutional satisfaction. The data was from the 2015 administration of the National Survey of Student Engagement, a large-scale and multi-institutional survey. This study contributes an important dimension to the existing literature regarding CIS engagement in U.S. higher education. Using Hofstede's (2001) Dimensions of Culture (e.g., individualism vs. collectivism, uncertainty avoidance, and power distance) as the conceptual grounding, this study helps CISs and U.S. students establish a mutual understanding of each other's engagement in LS, CL, and SF. This study also provides recommendations and implications to faculty and practitioners for supporting the cross-cultural integration and mutual engagement of CISs,even the entire international student group, and U.S. students through college teaching, learning,, student advising, and co-curricular activities. Advisors/Committee Members: Nelson Laird, Thomas F (advisor).

▼ In international student mobility literature, international students have been categorized as either having or not having agency. Researchers calling international students “agents” define agency as “the capacity of international students to deal with the challenges” associated with a new environment, a new language, and a different academic context. However, “agency” can be interpreted in a different way: as the “resisting of norms and realities” (e.g., Scott, 1985). This thesis investigates the role and nature of agency in the formation of the academic identities of international doctoral students at an Australian university. Eight international doctoral students participated in this study. Each was interviewed seven times over the period of a year, with my own autoethnography also contributing to the study. Using a constructivist-grounded theoretical approach, the data collected was utilized to develop a story of international student mobility and academic identity formation. This was analyzed and interpreted using a number of different theories, including Bourdieu’s (1977) social field theory, Phillipson’s (1992) notion of linguistic imperialism, Said’s (1978) idea of “geographic imaginaries,” Butler’s (1990) performance theory, as well as agency theories (e.g. Hitlin & Elder (2007)). The findings of the study indicate that: the participants have been influenced by many familial, social, and academic factors to embark on international studies and, while they develop their academic identities in the process of doing a PhD, they do not consider themselves to be academics even upon completion of their programs. Further, this study provides clear evidence that the notions of agency currently found in the international student mobility literature are deficient. This research suggests that rather than students being considered as either having or not having agency, the agency that each student exercises can exist on a continuum ranging from “strategic choices aimed at self-advancement” at one end, to “improving the world/ pushing back against some aspect of ‘the system’” at the other.

▼ This research describes what motivates Vietnamese students to come to the U.S. to study for a degree, what outcomes they expect, and what they experience academically and culturally while studying in the U.S. Currently the surge of international students from Vietnam has reached an all time high of 13,112 students to the U.S. This moves the relatively small South East Asian nation to the ranking of ninth among all nations for the number of international students sent to the U.S. in depth interviews were conducted fall semester 2011 with 11 students enrolled in two large public universities in the Dallas-Fort Worth-Denton Metro area. the participants were students from Vietnam holding J-1 or F-1 visas who were in their sophomore year or beyond. Interviews were conducted with these undergraduate and graduate students on the campus where each was enrolled. Interview transcripts were provided to participants for their review and comments. Ethnograph qualitative research software was used to analyze and code the data. These students reported that the increased number of students coming to study in the U.S. is because of the reputation of higher education in the U.S., relatives living in the U.S. who create a support system, and economic growth in Vietnam which has made education abroad more accessible. More students are coming to the U.S. for study because of the respect that these students families and friends have for the educational system and potential of opportunity that a U.S. degree brings. Meaningful relationships with other students provide a better and broader educational experience for Vietnamese international students. Vietnamese international students desire not only gainful employment from their degree but also a balanced growth experience that includes friendships, immersion in the culture, and being responsible members of the host society. These students made strategic use of the community college to enhance their higher education experience. the findings indicate that universities and colleges interested in attracting students from Vietnam should forge partnerships between community colleges and universities and with local Vietnamese communities to promote recruitment, affordability, retention, and graduation.

▼ The purpose of this instrumental case study was to examine the experiences of international graduate students as they participated in a peer mentor circle (PMC) program that aimed to ease their transitions and foster sense of belonging. International graduate students provide many financial, educational, and social benefits to American universities. International graduate students encounter many challenges as they pursue higher education in the United States including transitioning to new social norms and community issues (Lee & Rice, 2007), navigating a new higher education system (Hellsten & Prescott, 2004), handling homesickness (Church, 1985), and coping with academic stressors such as writing and communicating in English (Cavusoglu et al., 2016; Hunter-Johnson, 2016). To mitigate these experiences and feelings, Duru (2008) asserted that developing social support systems and increasing social connectedness among students can ease transitions. In an attempt to ease transitions and foster sense of belonging while also addressing the challenges experienced by international graduate students, I designed and implemented a five week peer mentor circle program in which 14 participants attended during the first five weeks of the spring 2020 semester. Through demographic data forms, observations, interviews, focus groups, and voice memos, I examined the experiences of the international graduate student participants in the PMC to better understand their experiences navigating transitions and developing sense of belonging. The study found that the PMC did ease their transitions. Analyzed with the use of transition theory (Schlossberg, 2001) and sense of belonging (Anant, 1969), findings indicated participants experienced the moving in and beginnings of the moving through phases of transitions. Additionally, through sharing feelings and bonding over shared experiences, participants developed a strong social support system and thus a sense of belonging. Insights to the experiences of international graduate students’ transitions and sense of belonging during their first semester are provided through this study.

▼ Canada is increasingly looking to international students as a source of postsecondary tuition revenues and new immigrants. In Chapter 1, we examine the relative course grades of international undergraduate students in an Ontario university with a large and growing foreign student presence. We identify grade gaps across fields of study, which appear to primarily reflect admission errors from less predictive secondary school grades. While the gaps appear related to English-language proficiency, they are larger among graduates of Canadian secondary schools and in upper- than in first-year courses. Our estimates also suggest that relative foreign student quality has improved over time, despite increasing foreign enrolment. The academic programs that students choose to pursue have strong implications for their career prospects. In Chapter 2, I shed light on students’ academic program choices by examining how co-ethnic peers influence their decisions to change programs during the course of their undergraduate studies. Examining data from a publicly-funded Ontario university with an ethnically diverse student population, I find that students are highly ethnically concentrated within academic programs at the time of their initial enrolment. Moreover, nearly one-quarter of all students change programs at least once during their studies and these program changes further increase the ethnic concentration of students within academic programs. Assuming a model in which students prioritize their grades over co-ethnic peers, the presence of more co-ethnic peers is found to significantly increase the probability of a program change. This suggests that the ethnic concentration of students across programs at the university, which appears to increase over time, may be academically and socially efficient. International students are considered to be the best source of immigrants. In chapter 3, we compare the labour market performance of former international students (FISs) through the first decade of the 2000s to their Canadian-born-and-educated (CBE) and foreign-born-and-educated (FBE) counterparts. We find FISs outperform FBE immigrants by a substantial margin, but underperform CBE graduates from similar postsecondary programs. We also find evidence of a deterioration in FIS outcomes relative to both comparison groups. We argue that this deterioration is most consistent with a quality tradeoff as the supply of international students has not kept pace with the growth in demand.

▼ International students in the schools sector are a particularly vulnerable group, due to their age and status as unaccompanied minors. It is vital that these students are understood, in order to cater for their unique needs. Using an exploratory mixed-methods approach, this qualitative study examined the motivations, expectations and experiences of international students from the People’s Republic of China studying in Australian secondary schools. Data were collected in two phases from 116 international students, 25 parents, 10 teachers and three homestay providers using questionnaires and semi-structured interviews, and descriptive analyses employed. Six key findings were identified that suggest overall satisfaction with the experience of studying in Australia across most areas. School to school connections are increasingly influencing students in their choice of study abroad, while education agents and family/friends remain a commonly accessed source of information for international students, despite some concern over the reliability of this information. The choice to study in the Australian secondary school sector is driven more by lifestyle reasons, including preparation for living and working globally, than dissatisfaction with the educational opportunities available in China, although learning outcomes are considered greater in Australia due to an emphasis on the application of information and skill development. International students both expect and experience increased independence in Australia, but significant tensions exist in balancing this independence with guardianship requirements. Discrepancies between experiences and expectations were found in two areas: English language development is a key concern that persists longer than expected into the period of study in Australia, and international students from China are seeking more opportunities to form relationships with Australian peers. To reduce dissonance between expectations and experiences of studying in Australia, it is recommended that Australian schools work with both international and domestic students to provide authentic opportunities to build relationships; that substantial English language support is offered for international students in Australian secondary schools; that Australian curriculum and pedagogical practices are reviewed; that parents are provided with ongoing information during the study experience; and that accurate pre-departure information is provided including, in particular, guardianship requirements.
