International Students on U.S. Campuses and U.S. Students Studying Abroad Are at All-Time High

From Ascribe Newsfeed:

(Findings from the Open Doors 2008 report are available at http://www.opendoors.iienetwork.org/).

New international student enrollments rose by 10 percent, following on increases of 10 percent and 8 percent for the previous two years.

Open Doors 2008 reports double digit increases in the students enrolled from the top three sending countries: India up 13 percent, China up 20 percent and South Korea up 11 percent.

Open Doors 2008 reports that the number of American students studying abroad increased by 8 percent, to a record high total of 241,791 in the 2006/07 academic year.

Still, the Open Doors 2008 reports the UK remains the leading destination for American students, followed by Italy, Spain, France and China (the first year that China was one of the top five destinations).

According to the Assistant Secretary of State for Educational and Cultural Affairs, Goli Ameri, "In today's competitive international environment, the increase in enrollments noted in this year's Open Doors data demonstrates again that the U.S. remains the premier destination for international students.

U.S. higher education is unparalleled in its vitality, quality, and diversity.

The U.S. government joins the U.S. higher education community in a commitment to welcome international students to the United States."

IIE has conducted an annual statistical survey of the international students in the United States since 1949, and with support from the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs since the early 1970s.
