| Abstract | On the basis of the data reported in "Open doors: Report on international educational exchange" between 2002 and 2004 the author describes in the first part of this article the development of international enrollment in the United States. Generally there is a trend towards a decline of international students for reasons of raised costs, difficulties in obtaining visa, success of international competitors, international political tensions et al. Whereas the costs for tuition and fees, room and board for four-year-institutions increased by 6% from 2000-2002, community college (two-years) costs for the same services and within the same period rose by only 4,5%. Due to these facts the "international two-plus-two" model has been worked out. It comprises "the option to present to students abroad a much more affordable baccalaureate degree choice, coupled with a uniquely broadening cultural experience by marrying two years at a community college with pre-arranged and guaranteed articulation to a four-year partner institution. ... Under [this] model, one or several community colleges contract with one or several universities both to recruit and provide educational programming to international students. ... This... relationship provides both the participating colleges and the student participants with advantages that none can provide independently": 1. Reduced costs and greater efficiencies in recruiting, 2. Significantly reduced costs to the student, 3. Broader social and cultural opportunities, 4. Residual articulation and transfer benefits. The author also mentions the barriers to the effective two-plus-two which, however, are not insurmountable. He finally gives a successful example for a college-university consortium in the state of Missouri. (DIPF/Kr.). |
