This study was designed for the purpose of comparing the efforts at selected major universities which have relatively large international student populations, with a set set of characteristics extrapolated from the literature, and determining which of the characteristics are reflected in the programs of these institutions, which are superfluous to those reviewed international student programs, and what additional characteristics the selected schools exhibit which might account for their strength of performances and reputations. The study revealed that some of the created characteristics were successful, some were partially successful, and some were unsuccessful in evaluating the institutional international student programs. Recommendations for further research include the need to create a larger pool of characteristics with which to evaluate institutions, a larger pool of institutions of greater variety to be included for a greater diversity of results, and more time spent at each site in data collection for a more in-depth picture of the institutional characteristics at each university. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 56-01, Section: A, page: 0046. / Major Professor: Joseph Beckham. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1995.
