Institute of International Education Releases Open Doors Report 2012, Reveals Shift in India – U.S. Exchange

The Institute of International Education has released its annual Open Doors Report, which has provided a statistical snapshot of international educational exchange in the United States each year since 1949.  Supported by a grant from the U.S. State Department’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, the report serves as a comprehensive resource for information on international students and scholars studying or teaching in the United States, as well as U.S. students studying abroad. 

This year’s report, which captures data from the 2011/12 academic year, reveals that the number of Indian students studying abroad in the United States has dropped for the second consecutive year.  A total of 100,270 Indian students (accounting for 13.1% of the U.S.’ international student population) studied in the United States in 2011/12, marking a 3.5% decrease over the previous academic year and the second year of decline since the number peaked at 104,897 in 2009.  By contrast, the number of students entering the U.S. from China has shot up by 23.1% over the past year, with 194,029 Chinese students accounting for 25.4% of the U.S. international student population in the 2011/12 academic year.  Meanwhile, the number of students from the U.S. studying in India has rapidly increased from just 2,690 in the 2008/09 academic year to 4,345 in 2010/11, though this number still represents only 1.6% of the U.S. students who studied abroad in 2010/11.  Data for U.S. students for the 2011/12 academic year is not yet available.
