Abstract: This study examines the perspectives of Chinese students in US business schools, as over a quarter million Chinese students are currently enrolled in colleges in the U.S, out of which twenty eight percent of them are enrolled in various in business degree programs. This research attempts to explore the accomplishments of these Chinese students and whether or not their expectations for coming to US business schools are met and what are not met. The results reveal that most of the Chinese expectations are met, while an assumption of studying in the US business schools is easy is untrue. The results also indicate that Chinese students want to develop a global view and depart from the traditional Chinese system of college education. They want to learn more innovations and skills that prepare them for a better future. Both administrators and educators in business education need to have a better understanding of these perspectives of this market segment, not only for serving this small group, but also expand the cultural diversity as a part of globalization trend.
