WASHINGTON, D.C., November 18, 2019—The
number of international students in the United States set an all-time
high in the 2018/19 academic year, the fourth consecutive year with more
than one million international students. The total number of
international students, 1,095,299, is a 0.05 percent increase over last
year, according to the 2019 Open Doors Report on International Educational Exchange.
International students make up 5.5 percent of the total U.S. higher
education population. According to data from the U.S. Department of
Commerce, international students contributed $44.7 billion to the U.S.
economy in 2018, an increase of 5.5 percent from the previous year.
Open Doors 2019, released
today by the Institute of International Education (IIE) and the U.S.
Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs,
highlights the continued competitiveness of the U.S. higher education
sector as a destination of choice for international students and the
growing interest in international educational exchange among U.S.
students.
“We are happy to see the continued
growth in the number of international students in the United States and
U.S. students studying abroad,” said Marie Royce, Assistant Secretary of
State for Educational and Cultural Affairs. “Promoting international
student mobility remains a top priority for the Bureau of Educational
and Cultural Affairs and we want even more students in the future to see
the United States as the best destination to earn their degrees.
International exchange makes our colleges and universities more dynamic
for all students and an education at a U.S. institution can have a
transformative effect for international students, just like study abroad
experiences can for U.S. students.”
For the tenth consecutive year, China remained the largest source of
international students in the United States in 2018/19 with 369,548
students in undergraduate, graduate, non-degree, and optional practical
training (OPT) programs, a 1.7 percent increase from 2017/18. India
(202,014, +2.9 percent), South Korea (52,250, -4.2 percent), Saudi
Arabia (37,080, -16.5 percent), and Canada (26,122, +0.8 percent) round
out the top five. Emerging market countries showed some of the strongest
growth year over year, especially Bangladesh (+10.0 percent), Brazil
(+9.8 percent), Nigeria (+5.8 percent), and Pakistan (+5.6 percent).

Class Day – Dean Nitin Nohria
In a message to faculty, staff, students, and alumni, Nohria said the time is right for HBS to transition to new leadership. “Ten years gave us a good run to make progress on our ‘Five I’ priorities,” he noted, referring to the School-wide focus on innovation, intellectual ambition, internationalization, inclusion, and integration that has been a hallmark of his tenure. “Serving as Dean has been a privilege for which I am immensely grateful. A decade seems an appropriate duration for this chapter in the School’s history.” MORE
