The Open Doors Special Report – Promoting Access to U.S. Higher Education: International Students with Disabilities provides an initial foundation for stakeholders to understand the national landscape of information on international students with disabilities attending U.S. higher education institutions. The findings in this report reflect information from interviews and survey responses from 386 colleges and universities.
This report explores insights into the known scale of international students with disabilities attending U.S. colleges and universities. The findings also provide institutional perspectives on the availability of data about international students with disabilities and how institutions collaborate and provide resources to support these students.
We invite you all to join a webinar on Wednesday, March 22 at 1 pm EDT to discuss the findings with IIE’s Research, Evaluation, and Learning (REL) team, Mobility International USA, and higher education institutions. Register for the webinar here.
