Collins College Visits Singapore, Taiwan, Korea, and Shanghai
via
Student Outreach Program
TEMPE, Ariz. (Business Wire EON) April 2, 2008 --
Collins College kicks-off an international outreach effort to attract
more students from Asia, including Singapore, Taiwan, Korea, and
Shanghai. Collins College offers Bachelor of Arts degrees in game
design, visual arts with a major in game art, graphic design, interior
design, film & video production, and a Bachelor of Science in
information technology.
“Attracting international students promotes a
greater knowledge about the world and our increasingly interdependent
global economy. It also makes good business sense. According to the
Department of Commerce, international education is the fifth-largest
service export in the United States,” said Dr.
Timothy Dosemagen, provost for Collins College.
A report from the Institute of International Education states that
foreign students spent more than $20 billion in 2006-2007 in the United
States, about half on tuition and fees and half on living expenses. The
report estimated that $14.5 billion came from the students' home
countries, mostly from personal and family sources. The report, which
was largely financed by the State Department, says that less than a
third of students got their primary financing from United States sources.
“In addition, the devaluation of the American
dollar is making a college education in the United States more
affordable than it used to be,” said Dosemagen.
Collins College is participating in educational fairs with the American
International Education Foundation (AIEF), a non-profit organization
that brings together international students with the U.S. educational
system.
