Academic Exchange Programs - Educational Advising and Student Services is sponsored by STATE, DEPARTMENT OF. As authorized by the Fulbright-Hays Act, the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) seeks to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries by means of educational and cultural exchange programs, including the exchange of scholars, researchers, professionals, students, and educators. ECA programs foster engagement and encourage dialogue with citizens around the world. Educational and cultural engagement is premised on the knowledge that mutual understanding, the development of future leaders, and the benefits of education programs influence societies and affect official decision-making almost everywhere in the world today. ECA programs inform, engage, and influence participants across strategic sectors of society – including young people, women, teachers, scholars, journalists, and other professionals – increasing the number of foreign individuals who have first-hand experience with Americans and with the values of freedom, representative government, rule of law, economic choice, and individual dignity while building international knowledge and capacity among Americans. The EducationUSA network promotes U.S. higher education and facilitates student mobility by providing guidance and support to both prospective student audiences abroad and U.S. higher education institutions that seek to recruit and enroll these students. EducationUSA also supports both international and domestic student success by research by engaging U.S. higher education institutions to ensure that students' experiences on U.S. campuses are academically engaging, culturally enriching, include diverse, global perspectives in the classroom, and create lasting ties between individuals today that will support stronger relations between nations tomorrow. The U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) oversees the EducationUSA network, which consists of over 430 international student advising centers in more than 175 countries worldwide. The EducationUSA network supports ECA’s mission by increasing international student mobility, providing students from across the globe with access to educational opportunities, and building a broader understanding of the U.S. higher education sector among overseas student, government and academic personnel. EducationUSA advising centers are housed within U.S. embassies and consulates and/or in partner institutions that include Fulbright Commissions, bi-national cultural centers, U.S. non-governmental organizations (NGOs), international NGOs, and/or universities and libraries abroad. EducationUSA advisers provide guidance and support to international students and their families as they explore opportunities to study at U.S. college and universities. EducationUSA advisers provide guidance on the U.S. higher education admissions process and offer accurate, comprehensive, and current information about the full range of accredited U.S. institutions of higher education. Advising activities are conducted via center activities, in-person and virtual outreach in local communities, including webinars, virtual recruitment fairs, and website content. Through programs like the EducationUSA Academy and Leadership Institutes, EducationUSA seeks to develop a pipeline of college-ready international students at the secondary level and expand the capacity of colleges and universities in the United States to partner with overseas institutions around student and scholar exchange, collaborative research, and workforce development initiatives. ECA’s EducationUSA branch also funds the annual Open Doors Report on International Educational Exchange which tracks the flow of students to and from of the United States and provides essential data used in calculating the economic impact of inbound international student mobility.
