Foreign Enrollment Rises Slightly at Colleges in the United States.
Desruisseaux, Paul
Chronicle of Higher Education, v44 n16 pA42-A44 Dec 12 1997
The 457,984 foreign students enrolled in the United States in 1996-97 represented a record high but only a modest increase in growth rate. Educators concerned about increased competition from Britain, Australia, and other countries fear limits on U.S. enrollments. Data on foreign student characteristics and enrollments by state, institutions with highest foreign enrollments, and countries of origin are presented. (MSE)
