A new CGS survey on international graduate admissions trends has found that offers of admission from US graduate schools to prospective international students increased 3% from 2009 to 2010.  The growth reverses last year's 1% decline.

The survey report presents initial findings on international offers of admission and final application numbers for 2010.  The survey also includes findings on applications and admissions for US students.

CGS has released two publications that address the promise and challenges of international graduate collaborations. 

One describes the results of NSF-supported research to identify barriers and strategies for success in international collaboration.  The other presents proceedings from the 2009 Strategic Leaders Global Summit on Graduate Education, including the Principles and Practices of Effective International Collaborations, agreed to by representatives from nine countries.

A press release includes a summary of both books, and more information is available on the International Publications and Graduate International Collaborations Project pages.

CGS has been awarded a grant from the Teagle Foundation to launch a project to prepare future faculty to assess student learning.
