Nearly three million students now study outside their home countries

40、 a 57% increase in the last decade. Foreign students now dominate many U. S. doctoral programs, accounting for 64% of Ph.

But educat

45、ional protectionism is as big a mistake as trade protectionism is. The globalization of higher education should be embraced, not feared including in the United States. There is every reason to believe that the worldwide competition for human talent, the race to produce innovative research, the push

46、to extend university campuses to multiple countries, and the rush to train talented graduates who can strengthen increasingly knowledge-based economies will be good for the United States, as well.41 A feature of the globalization of the academic enterprise is that more students_.（A）study in foreign
