Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
India, China provide nearly half
the international students in US: Report
The two most populous countries
are aggressive towards quality higher education in the U.S. Of the nearly one
million international students who took higher education in the U.S. in
2014-2015 academic year, 31% of them came from China and 14% were from India. The
growth by these two countries alone accounted for the two-thirds of the total
growth. Especially the number of students came from India jumped nearly 30%
over the previous year, while the total number of international students grew
by approximately 10%, according to the Institute of International Education.
Interestingly, nearly two-thirds
of the students from India are at the graduate level. One of the reasons could
be the fact that most of the prominent colleges and universities in India run
their courses in English, while many students from other non-English speaking
countries like China or South Korea are trying to improve their English
proficiency.
Enjoy reading and thinking of the
sheer number of the international students studying in the U.S. and the
influence over their careers and lives.
