The purpose of this study was to determine the relevance of the graduate study program to international students who studied agriculture at the University of Arizona. The study was a descriptive survey of the 185 international students enrolled during the Spring semester of the 1987-88 academic year. The results from the 106 respondents (57.3 percent) representing 51 countries indicated the following: they had a concern for careers not being met in their home countries; they had a high opinion of the University of Arizona academic community; they were satisfied with their graduate study programs; and they thought course work could be used to solve practical problems. However, they wanted academic advisors to encourage graduate research related to the needs of their home countries and they wanted more off-campus educational activities. It was recommended that the academic advisors thoroughly assess the home country needs of international students when selecting a research topic and that the College of Agriculture develop a better program of off-campus educational activities in order to give international students a broader perspective of American agriculture.
