International students have emerged as a student population that plays a critical role in the internationalization efforts of institutions of higher education across the world. Currently, the United States leads the world in the number of international students on local campuses.

According to the Open Doors report, the number of international students reached 764,495 in 2011 (Institute of International Education, 2012).
