November 18-22 is International Education Week, a time to recognize and celebrate international students in the U.S.
More than 1 million people from around the world attended colleges and universities in every state in 2022-23, a 12 percent increase from the previous year, according to the 2023 Open Doors report from the U.S. Department of State.
International students account for almost 6 percent of the enrollment at U.S. colleges and universities, bringing their ambitions, cultures, skills, and perspective to campuses in large cities, small towns, and everywhere in between.
The U.S. has seen the greatest growth in students from India, Ghana, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Nigeria. Math and computer science continue to be the most popular fields of study, but 2022-23 saw significant increases in law and legal studies, and communication and journalism majors.
If you are an international student interested in studying in the U.S., or a college or university wishing to expand their international student base, the Michigan English Test (MET) can help. Our multilevel English proficiency test is accessible, affordable, trusted and respected, and available to 100% of test takers worldwide.
