I NTERNATIONAL exchange of students is increasing every year. In 1955-56, the latest year for which figures are available, there were at least 9,887 Americans studying abroad; and in the following year over 40,000 foreign students came to the United States.' In view of the steady rise in the popularity of travel abroad for educational purposes, increasing interest attaches to the motives which impel students to study in foreign countries. No single objective is sufficiently comprehensive to characterize the goals of all who venture abroad to study. Moreover, there is some evidence that the purposes of agencies supporting educational exchange differ from those of the students they sponsor. According to a report prepared by the Committee on Education Interchange Policy of the Institute of International Education, the generally expressed goals of institutions sponsoring exchanges are the following, listed in the order of frequency
Mathematics education · Pedagogy · Political science · Study abroad · Global Education and Multiculturalism · Psychology
