These international students play an important part in U.S. higher education, not only because they contribute more than $13 billion to the U.S. economy every year, but also because many academic programs rely on them to conduct research and serve as teaching assistants in key fields of science and technology The U.S. Higher Education System – Facts and Figures: The U.S. higher education system is large, diverse and decentralized. According to the U.S. Department of Education‟s most recent available data, there were 4,200 degree-granting postsecondary institutions in the United States, in 2001.

International Students in the United States With nearly 600,000 international students, the United States is host to about one quarter of all internationally mobile students, according to UNESCO data, which estimates that 2 million students currently study outside their home country. Among leading host countries, the U.S. share is 40%, and more than double the number hosted by any of the other leading hosts. IIE‟s Atlas of Student Mobility website provides detail on the comparative enrollment figures of leading host countries (see www.atlas.iienetwork.org).
