The Campus Melting Pot

International Enrollment Fosters Global Awareness

To paraphrase Walt Disney Co. and the Dalai Lama, it’s a small world and it’s getting smaller. This reality is the driving force behind efforts to increase the international student population at Indiana Tech.

International students comprise about 3% of current enrollment in the university’s traditional program. Administrators would like to see that increase to about 10% and have developed plans to more aggressively recruit international students. “Our mission focuses on preparing students for career success in a global society,” President Arthur Snyder explained. “Increasing our international population brings that global society to our campus, creating opportunities for students from a variety of cultures to learn with each other and learn from each other.”
