Student mobility

While the number of international students studying in the U.S.A. has increased by 70% since 2005, the number of students from the U.S.A. studying abroad has also increased dramatically. Aside from the exposure they receive from studying abroad, U.S.A. students can save a lot of money, a factor that likely contributed to the 72% increase in students studying outside the U.S.A. from 2000-2001 to 2013-14. European universities are offering more programs in English which also makes it easier for U.S.A. students. The only hesitation is the degree to which European degrees will be recognized by employers in the U.S.A. as an equivalent credential.
