While the international opportunity is enormous for leading universities, it is not without financial and reputational risk.

Partnership with INTO reduces that risk, as we apply our resources and experience alongside university colleagues to ensure that:

• appropriate students are attracted to the institution;
• academically rigorous programs and critical support services are in place for them upon arrival;
• the university’s academic integrity and reputation are fully protected.

Over the past ten years, we have developed and implemented the most successful international educational partnering model in North America, with proven results in terms of:

• international enrollment growth;
• global diversity of the student body;
• international student academic performance;
• international student retention;
• international student satisfaction

In the more than 15 years since our launch, we have built a unique track record of working with universities to deliver international enrollment growth, exceptional student experiences and superior academic outcomes for foreign students. The outcome for our partners is a transformed ethos and increasingly global reputation.

In particular, INTO’s expertise lies in:

• the world’s most widely distributed and productive international student recruitment network;
• student application processing support;
• specialized program design support for international students;
• comprehensive international student support provision;
• campus infrastructure design and construction;
• trans-national education and offshore campus implementation;
• immigration compliance.

With hundreds of years of collective experience of working with international students, INTO people bring with them their talent; passion for international education; and intimate knowledge of what makes a successful partnership work for both students and universities.

We know what international students need and what their families value. Most INTO staff have worked in university environments and understand the challenges of growing a diverse campus community, while providing the support partners require to ensure student success.

Although partnership development takes time and careful planning, our global recruitment team gets to work on attracting students to your university immediately.  

INTO provides up to 100% of the development costs of preparing the university for a major transformation of its enrollment profile. 

These costs include:

• hiring additional faculty and staff leading to program launch;
• developing or remodeling classrooms, offices and residence halls;
• adding academic and support services for international students;
• producing marketing websites and printed materials;
• aligning financial, legal, immigration compliance and registration processes;
• assessing the readiness of university programs and services

Our network of university partners provides opportunities to build on each other’s strengths, co-developing programs and pooling international educators’ knowledge to support internationalization and constantly enhance international student experiences.
