“USA: A Study Destination” is a U.S. Department of Commerce, International Trade Administration (ITA) education industry engagement aimed at boosting U.S. education exports by promoting the USA as a premier destination for international students to study. Key elements of the initiative include:
- Providing tools and a platform for state consortia to address challenges faced by increased global competition in the international education sector, and to foster economic growth.
- Working to convene public and private partners to develop promotion, recruitment, and market-entry strategies. This will enable the United States to better compete against other countries working to recruit international students as part of their national economic strategies.
- Providing opportunities for study state consortia to participate in programming sponsored by the ITA and U.S. Commercial Service aimed at increasing U.S. educational service exports.
