Abstract: ABSTRACT. Instructors can help international students to be successful at U.S. universities by determining, then explaining to them, their preferred learning styles. Such knowledge can assist college professors in adjusting their teaching styles to the students' learning styles. In this study, the authors examined the learning styles of international students enrolled in an MBA program. Although 80% of the students had learned by the lecture method in their home countries, the results of the Canfield Learning Styles Inventory (Canfield, 1992) indicated that they preferred to learn by direct experience.
