Fairleigh Dickinson sets up Vancouver, BC campus to attrach Asian students

Inside Higher Ed: A small world

Of the many ways to educate international students, Fairleigh Dickinson University may have a new approach — and one that experts on international higher education say is worth watching.

The New Jersey university has just won approval from British Columbia to open a degree-granting campus in Vancouver. Students who enroll there won’t be American or Canadian, but will be from other countries, primarily in Asia. Fairleigh Dickinson believes that there is a market of students who want an American-style education in North America who will find it attractive in many ways to be outside the United States. And the university can educate them for substantially less money than would be possible in New Jersey — while still earning money on the arrangement.
