Where Do International Students in the U.S. Come From?

The proportion of international students in U.S. higher education institutions has increased steadily, from 1.5% of the country’s total students in the 1960s to 5.5% in the early 2020s.

Using 2022 data from the International Education Exchange (IIE), this visualization from Ehsan Soltani breaks down where these students come from.

The International Student Population

The United States has always attracted students seeking quality education at its many world-class universities and opportunities in the country’s job market.

After a drop in recent years due to COVID-19 restrictions, American institutions registered a 3.8% increase in international student participation in 2022.

There were 948,519 international students at U.S. colleges and universities last year.

Asian students represent 75% of the total, with Chinese (30%) and Indians (21%) adding up to over half the count. Oceania is the place of origin with the fewest international students enrolled in the U.S., making up only 0.6% of the total.

Place of Origin 1950 1970 1990 2020 2022
Oceania 198 2,077 4,010 7,473 5,994
Africa 901 7,607 24,570 48,679 49,308
Europe 5,569 18,524 46,040 78,321 72,604
Americas 10,406 38,406 66,680 106,196 104,982
India 1,359 11,329 26,240 193,124 199,182
China - 19 33,390 372,532 290,086
Rest of Asia 7,707 52,963 185,810 269,164 226,351

According to Open Doors, for the first time in a decade, there were more graduate students (41%) than undergraduates (36%) studying in the United States in 2022.

Institutional Type Number of Students (2022)
Doctorate-granting Universities 738,555
Master's Colleges and Universities 105,680
Baccalaureate Colleges 35,569
Associate's Colleges 49,099
Special Focus Institutions 19,616
Total 948,519

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, many colleges and universities have started to offer online courses. Still, the vast majority of students attended classes in person last year.

A Billionaire Business

International students continue to be a priority for the U.S. higher education sector, contributing $32 billion to the country’s economy in 2022.

With the demographic decline in U.S. domestic higher education enrollment, many colleges and universities are strategically focusing on international students.

According to IIE, 89% of U.S. colleges and universities indicated that 2023/24 applications are up or have stayed the same as the previous year.
