ABSTRACT At a time when international student enrollment has been declining at community colleges for more reasons than just the pandemic, this paper attempts to address a gap in the literature to assist community colleges with their enrollment by helping them recruit international students. While there are many suggestions for improving international enrollment numbers, they are often financially costly. Given the budgets of community colleges and how international students choose their post-secondary institutions, community colleges are best able to raise international enrollment by concentrating on improving the campus experience for their current international students. To do so, this paper is the first to apply insights from behavioral economics to see how they might help increase the social capital of international students to boost international enrollment. Outside the classroom, international students may be helped by the college employing behavioral biases such as the availability bias and status quo bias and the heuristic known as the foot-in-the-door to raise their social capital with domestic students and using the information overload and choice overload to increase their social capital with academic counselors. Inside the classroom, faculty members can employ behavioral biases like the appeal to authority and the in-group bias to help international students increase their social capital with domestic students.
