World Education Services has released a report on International Student Mobility Trends 2013 (available through kees.kouwenaar@vu.nl). The WES data indicate that the rise of international students in the U.S. is driven by undergraduates, those who pursue businessārelated disciplines, and those that follow the Intensive English Program pathway. The fact that the report devotes no attention to graduate enrollment may be seen as a strong indication of the lack of relevance of graduate programmes for tuition-driven international recruitment.
