Best Practices in Advising
Vol.4: Issue 1
With the global nature of business today, it is no surprise that business and management fields are the leading areas of study for international students pursing higher education in the United States. According to the 2009 Open Doors Report, 20 percent of all international students in the United States are pursuing business-related fields of study. Though the business sector has recently been scrutinized in light of the global financial crisis, it is a critically important time for students to gain solid expertise in this area.
In this issue, you will find information on business education, including fast facts, online resources and insight from experts in the field. Two authors from the Graduate Management Admission Council, Judy Phair and Michelle Sparkman Renz, explain why MBAs fared well during the economic crisis and answer frequently asked questions
about the GMAT, respectively. To help you understand
current trends in business education, Connections interviews
Robert Bonner, Associate Dean of the Villanova School
of Business; and EducationUSA Senior Adviser Natalia
Rozanova shares Dos and Don’ts” for advising businessminded
students.

EducationUSA Advising Network
The U.S. Department of State provides support to a network of EducationUSA Advising Centers around the world. This network currently consists of over 400 EducationUSA Advising Centers in 170 countries that assist over 25 million students each year in person, by telephone, through email or on the Internet.
EducationUSA Advising Centers are staffed by professional advisers, many of whom have studied in the United States or received specialized training about U.S. higher education and the advising process. These centers provide prospective international students, young professionals, and other audiences with comprehensive, up-to-date and unbiased information on higher education and study opportunities in the United States.
The advisers provide students with information to identify the best option for their educational and professional interests, choosing an institution, identifying financial aid opportunities, understanding the admission process, and applying for a student visa. Additional services include group advising sessions for first-time visitors, individual advising by appointment, CV and essay writing seminars, translation and document verification, test preparation materials or courses, and pre-departure orientation. Many advisers also visit schools and universities in their community to talk with students about U.S. study opportunities and present the services available through the Advising Center.
