Abstract	International students are a valuable asset to MSW programs and deserve faculty support. However, sustaining international students in their field placements can be especially challenging for programs in nonurban settings. This article begins a discussion of what might enhance such students' field internships by reporting the experiences of the authors and some of their colleagues, examining the literature, and assessing survey responses from a small sample of field coordinators. Issues surrounding communication, transportation, and cross-cultural competency are explored. (Contains 1 table.) (As Provided).
