There is a need to create a “critical mass” of international students that will facilitate the recruitment of international students

NMU has a comparative advantage, price-wise, for international students against any other Michigan universities

NMU campus technology, including the laptop program, is very attractive to international students

Location, recreation opportunities, and safety appeals to both students and parents; however, the weather is a concern for some

Number of academic programs is another plus for recruiting international students

MBA program will facilitate international recruitment efforts Lack of more flights in and out of Marquette is another constraint Cost of credential evaluations (NMU - $175 against $30 of other

universities) increases the initial application expenditure

Continue and increase international recruitment efforts - major results will be seen from the third to fifth year

Continue efforts to establish international exchange agreements Expand efforts to apply for international grants that include faculty

and student exchange Establish articulation agreements with domestic community colleges

with high numbers of international students (i.e., Oakland Community College with 1,200 international students)

Increase the international academic award to the same level as the domestic out-of-state academic award ($2,200 - $3,500)
