| Abstract: | This study examined the web-based survey responses from undergraduate and graduate students in IT higher education at five research one institutions to determine whether international students and particularly international women came to our programs with a different set of aspirations, backgrounds, levels of efficacy, and needs than U.S.-born students. We also analyzed the extended interview data collected on the various campuses for comments about international students and for articulation of issues unique to international students. We know that in computer science at least half of the graduate students are not U.S. citizens and that a similar distribution may exist in some of the applied I.T. programs in higher education. However the women-in-computing organizations on U.S. campuses may be designing their programs based on experiences of American students. International students in this study were divided according to their geographic origin—As European or Asian. Most of the analysis was devoted to responses from Asian students who made up the largest group. |
