Universities and colleges in a number of U.S. states have formed consortia to pool resources for joint international marketing to international students and professionals. The goals of these consortia are to increase the name recognition of their respective states and educational institutions, to promote their states as study destinations for international students, to facilitate partnerships between educational institutions in their states and those in other countries, and to capitalize on the services and support of state and federal government agencies.
The following states have such consortia:
