Increasingly, higher education has become a global endeavor. Thousands of American students elect to study abroad for portions of their college careers, opting for a more comprehensive cultural experience to break up what can be a monotonous routine of lectures, midterms and finals. This practice, of course, works both ways, as international students come each school year to the United States in order to attend American universities.
StartClass, an education research site powered by Graphiq, looked through the most recent data (2015) from the Institute of International Education to find the countries that send the most students to the U.S. for school. The institute has published the Open Doors Report on International Educational Exchange annually since 1919. It surveys college campuses regarding international students in the U.S., with support from the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.
The IIE defines an international student as anyone studying at an institution of higher education in the United States on a temporary visa that allows for academic coursework. Students fall into four categories in this data set: undergraduate students, graduate students, non-degree students and Optional Practical Training students. Optional Practical Training is a period during which undergraduate and graduate students with F-1 status, who have completed or have been pursuing their degrees for more than nine months, are permitted by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services to work for one year on a student visa toward getting practical training to complement their education.
There were 82 countries that sent over 1,000 total students to America in 2015, and 14 that sent more than 10,000. Two countries had over 100,000 students in the U.S., including one that sent over 300,000 students in 2015.
