International Student Academic Performance: Some Statistical Evidence and Its Implications
He, Yunke; Banham, Heather
American Journal of Business Education, v2 n5 p89-100 2009
Using time series data, this study shows that domestic students' academic performance is generally better than international students' performance, but the gap is significantly narrowing as international students' performance is improving over time. The study also shows that there is no strong correlation between the percentage of international students in the student body and the international or domestic student performance during the limited study period. Contributing factors to, and policy implications of, the research outcomes are also discussed.
