You can't get more international than this

I talked to Sandra, our graduate program coordinator, a couple days ago. I learned that the coming class of the Ph.D. program will have nine international students only. ZERO Americans! I guess spending such a long time to get a degree that is less marketable than an MBA is not so appealing to Americans any more. The good thing is that the department can always find someone that is up to the task, Americans or not, and that America always welcomes such brilliant minds from abroad. Here is the nationality breakdown of the coming class (one student from each country):

Europe:
Bulgaria
Greece
Spain

Latin America:
Brazil
Colombia
Peru

Asia:
China
Pakistan

North America:
Canada
