2011年11月14日 - 根據每年由國際教育協會（IIE）與美國國務院教育及文化局合作發布的開放門戶（Open Doors）報告，美國學院和大學中的國際學生數量在2010/11學年增長了5%，達到723,277人。這代表著在美國的國際學生數量達到一個創紀錄的高水平。這是開放門戶數據中的國際學生總數連續第五年增長，現在在美國學院和大學學習的國際學生比十年前增加了32%。
來自中國的學生數量增長，特別在大學水平，占去年增長量的很大一部分。中國學生總共增加了23.3%，大學水平（的學生）增加了43%。
“因為我們學院和大學的卓越性和多樣性，在世界范圍內有更多學生正選擇在美國學習，”助理國務卿（R）安•斯托克說。“在國外學習的年輕人會獲得為21世紀的挑戰創造解決方案所必要的全球技能。反過來，國際學生使我們的院校和社區全球化。”
“在吸引來自全世界的學生，并使美國學生準備好在一個越來越全球化的環境中取得成功上，我們的高等教育機構繼續獨占鰲頭，這是個正面消息，”國際教育協會總裁兼首席執行官艾倫•古德曼說。“雙向教育交流進一步加強了美國和其他國家間的商務和文化聯系。”
在美國入學的中國學生增長到總共約158,000名學生，占國際學生總人數的約22%，使中國連續兩年成為輸送（學生）最多的國家。來自印度的學生，美國的第二大國際人群，減少了1%，降到約104,000人。韓國是第三大的來源國，有73,000多人，增加了2%，構成總數的10%。
這三大輸送國 - 中國、印度和韓國 - 一起構成美國高等教育國際（學生）入學總數的將近一半（46%）。加拿大、臺灣、沙特阿拉伯和日本每國占國際學生總人數的約3%到4%，前七位的來源國構成總數的約60%。
大學水平的國際（學生）入學數達到291,439人，增長了6%。該增長使大學水平國際學生數量更加接近研究生水平國際學生的數量296,574人。研究生、大學水平的國際學生比例在過去十年中有所波動。2000年1月，大學水平的國際學生更多，但在2001年2月該情況被逆轉，從此之后研究生國際（學生）入學數一直高于大學水平。今年，這個差距有所縮短，與此前一年研究生比大學生多約20,000人相比，2010年11月研究生只多近5,000人。非學位項目中的國際學生總數，包括短期項目和英語學習，增加了8%，達到59,000人以上。
門戶開放報告亮點
2009年10月美國最受國際學生歡迎的10大研究領域是商務與管理（總數的22%），工程學（19%），數學與計算機科學（9%），自然與生命科學（9%），社會科學（9%），實用藝術（5%），衛生健康專業（5%），英語強化（5%），教育（2%），人文（2%）以及農業（1%）。未申報專業不包括在頂級研究領域排名之內。
南加利福尼亞大學連續十年成為領先院校，2010年11月有國際學生8,615人。伊利諾伊大學厄巴那 - 香檳分校接待外國學生數量高居第二位（7,991人），紐約大學緊隨其后，排在第三位（7,988人）。10大中的其他院校是：普渡大學（7,562人），哥倫比亞大學（7,297人），加利福尼亞大學 - 洛杉磯分校（6,249人），俄亥俄州立大學（以6,082人從前一年的第15位上升到前10），密歇根大學 - 安娜堡分校（5,995人），密歇根州立大學（5,748人），以及哈佛大學（以5,594人從第14名上升到前10）。

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).
