Session Description

“Multi-track” is the new phrase secondary and international high schools are using to describe students who are applying to the U.S., UK, Canadian, European, and Asian universities at the same time. Collectively American universities have approximately 384 overseas branch campuses across 85 host countries worldwide, a 15% increase since early 2023. Now nearly 70% of U.S. institutions report partnerships abroad. In the UK more than 23-25% of the graduate and undergraduate population is international. This session will discuss the challenges and opportunities for students and universities in the growing global educational environment.
