College
Fill your campus and classrooms during the summer months with a Chinese student exchange program. Not only will these prospective international students get a taste of what your university has to offer, but the added students give colleges the ability to offer additional summer classes or fill ones already on the calendar. International Student Exchange Services’ summer language programs are a combination of English language courses, off-campus activities and educational fieldtrips which are affordable and fun for Chinese students and provide an effective way to showcase your academic programs to a new demographic.
Increase enrollment
A bachelor’s or master’s degree from an American institution is an attractive option for many young adults in China. However, these prospective students often want to improve their English language skills and get a taste of American life before committing to a multi-year degree in the US. Hosting a summer language program is the perfect way to get these students onto your campus. After a summer of living and learning at your college, students will have built relationships with other students, instructors, members of the community and your school. Show Chinese students all your university has to offer, and chances are, they’ll be sticking around for a diploma.
College campuses can feel deserted during the summer months. Bring yours back to life with international students. A summer language program can help fill empty dorm rooms, keep the cafeteria cooking and provide a reason to host cultural events such as concerts, plays, movies and presentations for the entire community. As some of these students transition to degree programs, your university will reap the benefits of a more diverse student body which will enrich the experience of everyone from students to administrators. Building an international summer language program is more than just a chance to increase your bottom line, it’s a chance for both students and faculty to network, make friends and forge lasting relationships in a growing world economy.
