Abstract
This research paper utilizes a two-stage least-squares regression equation to examine factors that significantly impact student migration in different US geographic regions. The dynamic interaction between a university, its environment, and student migration is examined by employing a unique data set that combines institution-specific characteristics with regional economic variables. The study found that higher education institutions that have regionally recognized quality programs have greater ability to attract nonresident students. In addition, it appears that there is a linkage between nonresident enrollment and the economic environment where the university is located.Keywords
