More than 1.1 million international students are now enrolled in U.S. colleges and universities or working in their field of study on a student visa. 

But where are they coming from—and what are they studying? 

Defending Education believes that parents, students, and taxpayers deserve to know the facts about trends in our nation’s institutions. 

That’s why we just released a groundbreaking new report examining international student enrollment at 125 American colleges and universities—including students enrolled in undergraduate/graduate programs and those here on a student visa to work in their field of study. 

The report does not take a position on international student enrollment.  

With your donation of $35, $50, $100, or more today, we can continue asking tough questions and compiling clear, reliable data that the public can trust. 

Defending Ed is working to shine a light on trends that are reshaping American education—from foreign funding in K–12 schools to rising international enrollment in our universities. 

Our work takes time, research, and resources. 

Your generosity helps us continue to seek and report the facts—so parents, students, and citizens can make informed decisions. 

With your support, we can: 

✔ Compile and share reliable, public-facing data 
✔ Investigate foreign influence in schools and universities 
✔ Provide tools to help Americans hold their institutions accountable
