Abstract
This exploratory study explores the clarity and availability of international undergraduate application instructions on U.S. institutional websites (n=335). Using multiple regression analyses, results suggest the availability of TOEFL scores on institutional websites is related (p=0.023) to international student enrollment, and minimum TOEFL scores are related (p=0.000) to international student rate and related to international student enrollment (p=0.031). Implications for policy and practice are addressed.
