The Impact of International Student Enrollment Trends on Undergraduate Business School Majors

This paper examines recent increases in international enrollments in American business schools and some of the implications thereof. We analyze several years of university records from a midsized Midwestern state university, concerning inter-relations between choice of major, international versus domestic status, gender, age, and entry exam scores, noting especially the impact of international enrollment on the order of choice of major. We conclude with considerations of the need to extend this study on a nation-wide basis.
