Abstract:
The 2019 Fall International Student Enrollment Snapshot Survey Report (henceforth, Snapshot Survey) provides the international education field with a timely look at current patterns in international student enrollment as of fall 2019 (2019/20 academic year) based on the responses of more than 500 U.S. higher education institutions. The report is released jointly with and complements Open Doors 2019, which provides a comprehensive view of international student enrollment from the previous year (2018/19). As the Snapshot Survey represents a subset of the more than 2,800 institutions surveyed by Open Doors, the full picture of 2019/20 enrollment will be analyzed in Open Doors 2020 (November 2020).

Abstract:
The world has experienced many shocks in recent years with instability and refugee crises intensifying globally. These events impact the mobility of international students in the United States and throughout the world. International student mobility in the United States creates an interconnected learning environment that prepares graduates to tackle the serious, shared threats to our world and accounts for $35.8 billion dollars in revenue according to the U.S. Department of Commerce (U.S. Department of Commerce, 2016). This report examines several of the hot topics impacting international student enrollment on U.S. campuses for the current 2016 academic year. With an emphasis on current events and issues impacting international student enrollment trends, this report covers international student enrollment; recruitment and outreach; governmental initiatives; the U.S. social and political climate; and students from conflict areas. The International Student Enrollment Hot Topics Survey was distributed by ten partnering higher education associations listed on page 11 to their member institutions around the United States. It is released jointly with and complements the Open Doors Report, which provides a comprehensive view of international student enrollment in the United States based on data from the previous academic year, 2015/16. This report is based on data submitted by 423 institutions in October 2016 and should not be viewed as comprehensive. A comprehensive view of 2016/17 enrollment figures will be released in the Open Doors 2017 Report in November 2017.

Institute of International Education
Abstract:
Based on a Fall International Student Enrollment Hot Topics Survey of U.S. higher education institutions conducted annually since 2005, this 2018 report provides the international education field with a quick and timely look at current patterns and trending topics in international student enrollment. The results of this survey are designed to provide insight into how U.S. higher education institutions are impacted by the shifting landscape in the United States and abroad. Additionally, the findings provide information for colleges and universities to benchmark their own enrollment patterns and to inform ongoing outreach and recruitment strategies. This year’s survey focused on understanding Fall 2018 new international student enrollment, institutional recruiting and outreach priorities, and the wider factors impacting U.S. colleges and universities. The report is released jointly with and complements the Open Doors Report, which provides a comprehensive view of international student enrollment in the United States based on data from the previous academic year (2017/18). However, it should be noted that this Hot Topics Survey report reflects responses from just 540 institutions. The full picture for 2018 fall enrollment, reflecting responses from thousands of U.S. higher education institutions, will be analyzed in detail in Open Doors 2019, available in November 2019.

Abstract:
Over the past year, U.S. higher education institutions have spread the message #YouAreWelcomeHere globally through videos and social media. However, with policy shifts and public debates on immigration, questions abound regarding the United States’ ability to continue attracting and educating the brightest talent from around the world: “Will the number of international students in the United States decline?”; “Are changes at my institution reflected at other colleges and universities?”; “Do international students still want to come to the United States?”; “Are other countries attracting international students away from the United States?” This report explores these complex questions through findings from the Fall 2017 International Student Enrollment Hot Topics Survey. A national survey of U.S. higher education institutions conducted annually since 2005, this report provides the international education field with a snapshot of current patterns and trending topics in international student enrollments. This year’s survey focused on understanding Fall 2017 new international student enrollment, institutional recruiting and outreach priorities, and how the current U.S. social and political climate is impacting U.S. colleges and universities. The report is released jointly with and complements the Open Doors Report, which provides a comprehensive view of international student enrollment in the United States based on data from the previous academic year, 2016/17. However, it should be noted that because this report reflects just a snapshot from 522 institutions, the full picture for 2017 fall enrollments will be reflected in Open Doors 2018, available in November 2018. The results of this survey are designed to provide insight into how U.S. higher education institutions are impacted by the shifting U.S. landscape. Additionally, the findings provide information for colleges and universities to benchmark their own enrollment patterns and to inform ongoing outreach and recruitment strategies.
