Foreign Enrollment at U.S. Higher Education Institutions by Source Country

Source: Open Doors 1993–2018 and F1 Data 2004–15. To construct the numbers for master’s degrees from China and India, we use the F1 administrative data on new visas granted by degree status and measure the share of graduate degrees allocated to master’s students. We apply that fraction to the number of graduate students enrolled to estimate the number of master’s students by country of origin.
