2021 Open Doors Report on International Education Released
The Institute of International Education (IIE) released its annual Open Doors Report on Monday. This year’s findings focused on the time period heavily affect by the Coronavirus pandemic and the health and travel restrictions put in place as a result.
Despite a pandemic-related downturn in study abroad programs and new international student enrollment, Germany remained one of the top 25 places of origin for international students studying in the United States and is the 7th most popular destination for American students studying abroad. Additionally, enrollment among continuing students only dropped 3% in 2020, demonstrating the commitment of students and institutions to continuing their education despite these challenges.
Supported by a grant from the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs at the U.S. Department of State, Open Doors is a comprehensive information resource on international students and scholars studying or teaching at higher education institutions in the United States, and U.S. students studying abroad for academic credit at their home colleges or universities. DAAD is proud to partner with IIE as a member of Project Atlas, a collection of international partner organizations contributing to the Open Doors data.
