State Market and Mindset Report


A state-specific insight report designed to help universities understand where and how to approach recruitment within an individual US state.

Who it is for

International recruitment teams that want to move beyond broad US market activity and better understand how a specific state’s economy, education landscape, student behavior, and regional opportunities could inform recruitment planning, positioning and messaging.

What it is

A focused state market review that provides practical insight into the local context shaping student decision-making. At a baseline, this includes the state’s current and forecasted economic outlook, labor trends, key industries and employers, education system, college-going culture, in-state versus out-of-state dynamics, and current factors influencing how students and families think about university choice.

The report identifies key cities, towns, and regions with right-fit demographics for international study, and are customized against your university’s academic strengths, recruitment goals, budget, and existing US strategy.
