International Education Example
If we build it . . . will they come?
-
Universities strive to deliver high-impact educational experiences to differentiate themselves and cultivate culturally aware graduates. While over 40% of college students express interest in studying abroad, only 3% actually take the leap.
-
Develop a comprehensive go-to-market strategy and marketing content plan to boost student enrollment for a multi-course summer study abroad program in Barcelona.
