International Students Returning to US Schools
November 13, 2023
International students flocked to US universities in record numbers this past academic year, with more than half of them enrolled in mathematics, computer science, engineering, and business. For Gaurav Khanna, this is a welcome turn. Writing in Issues, he sees international students providing important benefits. They bring tuition revenue at a time when many state schools are struggling financially, and they boost the economy within surrounding communities. On a larger scale, many of them stay in the United States after graduation, filling jobs in the science and technology sector and helping fuel entrepreneurial innovations.
