Over the past three years the number of international students enrolling in U.S. institutions of higher education has grown by almost 7% to a record high in 2001 of 547,867. Currently China and India are the major countries of origin for international students in the U.S. Not too long ago in the late 1970's Iran and Nigeria, awash in petrodollars, were the leading sending countries, and before that in the 1960's it was Canada. More recently in the Mid 80's as Asia's Tiger economies started to roar, Taiwan, Malaysia and Korea were the three leading places of origin sending almost 20% of all international students to the US.
For the third year in a row, China has led the growth of international student enrollment as the top sending country (up 10%, to 59,939). India, which increased by more than 29% (to 54,664) this year, had the largest growth of the top 20 sending countries and for the first time has surpassed Japan as the second-leading sender of foreign students.
While student enrollment from Japan fell nearly 1% to 46,497, the country remained the third-largest sender despite the large growth of students sent by Korea (up nearly 11% to 45,685). The number of students from Korea had decreased markedly (by 9%, to 39,199 in 1998-99) due to the Asian economic downturn, but has now surpassed its previous high after two years of growth.
Japan had the largest number of students in the United States for four years (1995-98), but the number of students has shown small increases or even slight decreases over the past eight years, and Japan was surpassed by China last year and India this year.
