EDUCATION REPORT - Foreign Student Series1 #15 >Institute of International Education Report

By Nancy Steinbach


Broadcast December 26, 2002

This is the VOA Special English Education Report.

We continue our series of reports about how foreign students can study at an American college or university. This
information also can be found on the Special English Web2 page at w-w-w dot voaspecialenglish dot com.

Every year, the Institute of International Education publishes a report about foreign students who are studying in
the United3 States. The report this year is called “Open Doors, Two-Thousand-Two.

The report gives information about the school year that began in September of last year and ended in May of this
year. It says more than five-hundred-eighty-thousand international students attended American colleges and
universities during that time. This was the largest number of international students ever.

The University of Southern California4 at Los Angeles reported the largest number of foreign students. More than
five-thousand-nine-hundred foreign students attended U-S-C last year. New York University had the second
largest number of students, about five-thousand-five-hundred.

The report says the state of California had the most foreign students, with about seventy-eight-thousand living
there last year. New York state was next, with about sixty-two-thousand foreign students. Texas was third, with
more than forty-four-thousand students.

India sent the most foreign students to the United States last year. More than sixty-six-thousand students from
India attended American schools. China sent the next highest number of students, more than sixty-threethousand. South Korea5 was third, with forty-nine-thousand students. Japan was fourth, with more than forty-sixthousand students.

The report says the most popular subjects of study for international students in the United States last year were
business and management. Twenty percent of all foreign students were studying those subjects. Fifteen percent
studied engineering6. Thirteen percent studied mathematics7 and computer science.

The report contains much more information than we have time to provide here. You can get details by using a
computer to go to the Institute of International Education Web site. That address is w-w-w dot i-i-e dot o-r-g.
