Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of the negative effects of COVID-19 on the internationalization of higher education overall and the opportunities and experiences of thousands of university students worldwide who choose to pursue a portion of or all of their post-secondary education outside of their home country. Specifically, the author examines student mobility trends in the U.S. context in view of study abroad program adjustments, delays, cancellations, and fluctuations in the numbers of international students resulting from the recent COVID-19 pandemic. The chapter also includes a discussion of the strategies of some U.S. universities to offset the adverse effects of COVID-19 on their internationalization efforts.
