EDUCATION REPORT - Foreign
Student Series #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 Web page at www.
voaspecialenglish. com.
Every year, the Institute of International Education
publishes a report about foreign students who are studying in the United
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 California 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-three-thousand. South Korea was third,
with forty-nine-thousand students. Japan was fourth, with more than
forty-six-thousand 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 engineering. Thirteen
percent studied mathematics and computer science.
The report contains much more information than
we have time to provide here. You can get details by using a computer
