International Students of US Educational Programs: the Phenomenon of American Educational Immigration
https://doi.org/10.53658/RW2025-4-1(15)-116-134
Abstract
International students who studied at the American universities are reasonably considered highly qualified specialists with relevant theoretical knowledge and applied skills in their field, especially in natural sciences, mathematics, computer science, and technical specialties. During their studies, they establish connections with the American academic and business communities, and gain an understanding of American culture and values. Together, these factors make foreign graduates of American higher education who have returned to their home country potential mediators for establishing international cooperation involving the United States in scientific, educational, and business fields. The study of the parameters of American educational immigration is of interest, among other things, in order to improve the system of attracting foreign citizens to study at Russian higher education programs.
