Abstract

Chinese undergraduate enrollments grew at Michigan State University from 43 in the fall of 2005 to close to 4000 in the fall of 2014, representing an extraordinary increase of more than 80 times over 9 years. The purpose of this chapter is to tell the story of the issues MSU faced with the growth of the Chinese undergraduate enrollments and describe its responses from a variety of campus perspectives including international student services, central administration, admissions, residential life, academic departments, ESL services, mental health services, and community interactions.
