As the number of international students attending U.S. higher education institutions has declined 2 consecutive years (Saul, 2018), several institutions are exploring ways to increase international student interest. In Texas, the sociopolitical climate has become increasingly anti-immigrant (Watkins, 2017), leading many international students to question whether study in the US is feasible and safe. As institutional websites have been found to be important sources of international student information (Huang & Bilal, 2017; Taylor & Bicak, 2018), this study examines international student information on all public, 4-year institution websites in Texas. Findings suggest international student materials are difficult to read, are rarely translated, and lack basic information such as cost and housing information. Implications for future research and practice are addressed.

国际化、不可访问且不完整

由于就读于美国高等教育机构的国际学生人数连续 2 年下降(Saul,2018),一些机构正在探索提高国际学生兴趣的方法。在德克萨斯州,社会政治气候变得越来越反移民(Watkins,2017),导致许多国际学生质疑在美国学习是否可行和安全。由于机构网站已被发现是国际学生信息的重要来源(Huang & Bilal,2017 年;Taylor & Bicak,2018 年),因此本研究调查了德克萨斯州所有 4 年制公共机构网站上的国际学生信息。调查结果表明,国际学生材料难以阅读,很少翻译,并且缺乏成本和住房信息等基本信息。
