 Current recruitment efforts: advertising campaign, on the internet, and with print materials  Participate in recruiting tours in:  Canada  Latin America  Gulf States  Asia  Turkey  Submit several grant applications  Contact Saudi Arabia Cultural Mission  Sign MOU with universities abroad  International Speakers Series Source: International Programs Office

 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)
