Abstract: Increased international students could potentially contribute to the institutional financial stability.However, there is limited research evidence regarding the association between net tuition revenue andinternational undergraduate student enrollment at public doctoral universities through a longitudinalperspective. This research, therefore, fills the gap and investigates the association between internationalstudent enrollment and the financial status of institutions. Informed by Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA), thisstudy used correlational analysis, One-way ANOVA and Post Hoc tests to examine the relationship fromdifferent perspectives. These findings indicated a statistically significant positive correlation between nettuition revenue and international undergraduate student enrollment numbers at public doctoraluniversities from 2000 and 2018. The research also revealed statistically significant differences in nettuition revenue among institutions grouped by international undergraduate student enrollment levels. Theresults illustrated the nuanced trend in the three waves of international student enrollment.
