The purpose of this study was to analyze the perceptions which selected international alumni from Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan have regarding the adequacy of their graduate education experience at three major universities in Texas. Procedure. The sample for the study included alumni from Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan who returned home after completing graduate degrees during the period 1975 through 1979 at Texas A&M University, main campus, the University of Houston, central campus, and the University of Texas at Austin. The actual sample size comprised 80 names. A questionnaire was designed to measure how adequate the respondents perceive their American education to have been. Major Findings. (1) Among 55 respondents (51 males and 4 females), 31 had completed master's degrees and 24 had received doctorates. About 36 per cent of the respondents were engineers. (2) Nearly 42 per cent of the doctoral graduates were employed in public universities, while 38 per cent of the master's graduates worked for private industries. (3) Almost 90 per cent of the respondents believed the level and the quality of their graduate education at a Texas institution was about right. (4) More than 80 per cent of the Southeast Asian graduates sampled had problems with English while they were attending a Texas institution. (5) Seventy-one per cent of the doctoral graduates and 16 per cent of the master's respondents were financially supported by research assistantships, graduate assistantships, or other employment in the university they attended. Thirty-six per cent of the master's graduates reported they were supported by their own savings or their families. (6) Nearly 65 per cent of the respondents had never been involved in any kind of social activities during their graduate education years. (7) Two-thirds of the doctoral graduates and one-fifth of the master's respondents felt they contributed to the development of their home countries. (8) One out of four of the respondents stayed in contact with their former professors in the United States and found it to be a beneficial relationship.
