2011年11月14日 - 根据每年由国际教育协会（IIE）与美国国务院教育及文化局合作发布的开放门户（Open Doors）报告，美国学院和大学中的国际学生数量在2010/11学年增长了5%，达到723,277人。这代表着在美国的国际学生数量达到一个创纪录的高水平。这是开放门户数据中的国际学生总数连续第五年增长，现在在美国学院和大学学习的国际学生比十年前增加了32%。
来自中国的学生数量增长，特别在大学水平，占去年增长量的很大一部分。中国学生总共增加了23.3%，大学水平（的学生）增加了43%。
“因为我们学院和大学的卓越性和多样性，在世界范围内有更多学生正选择在美国学习，”助理国务卿（R）安•斯托克说。“在国外学习的年轻人会获得为21世纪的挑战创造解决方案所必要的全球技能。反过来，国际学生使我们的院校和社区全球化。”
“在吸引来自全世界的学生，并使美国学生准备好在一个越来越全球化的环境中取得成功上，我们的高等教育机构继续独占鳌头，这是个正面消息，”国际教育协会总裁兼首席执行官艾伦•古德曼说。“双向教育交流进一步加强了美国和其他国家间的商务和文化联系。”
在美国入学的中国学生增长到总共约158,000名学生，占国际学生总人数的约22%，使中国连续两年成为输送（学生）最多的国家。来自印度的学生，美国的第二大国际人群，减少了1%，降到约104,000人。韩国是第三大的来源国，有73,000多人，增加了2%，构成总数的10%。
这三大输送国 - 中国、印度和韩国 - 一起构成美国高等教育国际（学生）入学总数的将近一半（46%）。加拿大、台湾、沙特阿拉伯和日本每国占国际学生总人数的约3%到4%，前七位的来源国构成总数的约60%。
大学水平的国际（学生）入学数达到291,439人，增长了6%。该增长使大学水平国际学生数量更加接近研究生水平国际学生的数量296,574人。研究生、大学水平的国际学生比例在过去十年中有所波动。2000年1月，大学水平的国际学生更多，但在2001年2月该情况被逆转，从此之后研究生国际（学生）入学数一直高于大学水平。今年，这个差距有所缩短，与此前一年研究生比大学生多约20,000人相比，2010年11月研究生只多近5,000人。非学位项目中的国际学生总数，包括短期项目和英语学习，增加了8%，达到59,000人以上。

LED BY STRONG INCREASE IN STUDENTS FROM CHINA, INTERNATIONAL STUDENT ENROLLMENTS IN THE UNITED STATES
INCREASED BY 5 PERCENT IN 2010/11
China top sending country; USC top host university; California top host state; NYC top host city; Women represent 45 percent of international students; Business and Management, Engineering remain top fields of study
November 14, 2011 – The number of international students at colleges and universities in the United States increased by five percent to 723,277 during the 2010/11 academic year, according to the Open Doors report, which is published annually by the Institute of International Education (IIE) in partnership with the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. This represents a record high number of international students in the United States. This is the fifth consecutive year that Open Doors figures show growth in the total number of international students, and there are now 32 percent more international students studying at U.S. colleges and universities than there were a decade ago.
Increased numbers of students from China, particularly at the undergraduate level, largely accounts for the growth this past year. Chinese students increased by 23.3 percent in total and by 43 percent at the undergraduate level.
"Because of the excellence and diversity of our colleges and universities, more students worldwide are choosing to study in the United States," said Ann Stock, Assistant Secretary of State (R). "Young people who study abroad gain the global skills necessary to create solutions to 21st Century challenges. In turn, international students globalize our campuses and communities."
"It is positive news that our higher education institutions continue to excel in attracting students from all over the world, and in preparing American students to succeed in an increasingly global environment," said Allan Goodman, President and CEO of the Institute of International Education. "Educational exchange in both directions furthers business and cultural ties between the United States and other countries."
Chinese student enrollment in the United States rose to a total of nearly 158,000 students, or nearly 22 percent of the total international student population, making China the leading sending country for the second year in a row. Students from India, the second largest international cohort in the United States, decreased by one percent to a total of nearly 104,000. South Korea is the third leading place of origin, with more than 73,000 students, increasing by two percent and making up 10 percent of the total.
Together, the top three sending countries – China, India and South Korea – comprise nearly half (46 percent) of the total international enrollments in U.S. higher education. Canada, Taiwan, Saudi Arabia, and Japan each represent approximately three to four percent of the total international student population, with these top seven places of origin comprising about 60 percent of the total.
International enrollments at the undergraduate level reached 291,439, an increase of six percent. This increase brings the number of undergraduate international students much closer to the number of graduate level international students at 296,574. The proportion of graduate to undergraduate international students has fluctuated over the past decade. In 2000/01, there were more undergraduate international students, but this was reversed in 2001/02, and graduate international enrollments since then have remained higher than undergraduate. This year, the gap has narrowed, with close to 5,000 more graduate students in 2010/11 compared to nearly 20,000 more graduate students than undergraduate students the previous year. The total number of international students in non-degree programs, including short-term programs and English language study, was up 8 percent to more than 59,000.
Highlights
The top 10 most popular fields of study for international students in the United States in 2009/10 were Business and Management (22 percent of total), Engineering (19 percent), Mathematics and Computer Science (9 percent), Physical and Life Sciences (9 percent), Social Sciences (9 percent), Fine & Applied Arts (5 percent), Health Professions (5 percent), Intensive English Language (5 percent), Education (2 percent), Humanities (2 percent), and Agriculture (1 percent). Undeclared majors are excluded from the rankings of top fields of study.
For the tenth year in a row, the University of Southern California is the leading host institution, with 8,615 international students in 2010/11. University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign hosts the second highest number of foreign students (7,991), with New York University a close #3 (7,988). Other campuses in the top 10 are: Purdue University (7,562), Columbia University (7,297), University of California – Los Angeles (6,249), Ohio State University (moving up from #15 the previous year, with 6,082), University of Michigan – Ann Arbor (5,995), Michigan State University (5,748), and Harvard University (moving up from #14 with 5,594).
California remains the leading host state for international students (96,535, up 2 percent), followed by New York (78,888, up 4 percent), Texas (61,636, up 5 percent), Massachusetts (38,698, up 10 percent), Illinois (33,766, up 9 percent), Pennsylvania (30,507, up 9 percent), Florida (29,719, no change), Ohio (24,709, up 11 percent), Michigan (24,668, up 2 percent), and Indiana (20,112, up 8 percent).
About The Open Doors report
The Open Doors report is published by the Institute of International Education, the leading not-for-profit educational and cultural exchange organization in the United States. IIE has conducted an annual statistical survey of the international students in the United States since 1919, in partnerships with the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs since the early 1970s. The census is based on a survey of approximately 3,000 accredited U.S. institutions which host international students. Open Doors also reports on surveys on international scholars at U.S. universities; international students enrolled in pre-academic Intensive English Programs; and on U.S. students studying abroad (since 1985).
