University of New Hampshire Aims to Boost Revenue, Diversity With Program

University of New Hampshire Aims to Boost Revenue, Diversity With Program: The University of New Hampshire is hoping to boost both revenue and the diversity of its student body by partnering with an outside company to recruit and support international students.

The university recently became the fifth U.S. campus to sign an agreement with Navitas, a for-profit Australian firm that sets up and manages international pathway programs. About two dozen students are expected to arrive on the Durham campus in May for a year of English-language classes and modified academic courses. Those who succeed will be eligible to continue their studies at UNH alongside their American peers.
