New Report Highlights Opportunities for Studying in the US
“Ample room” for int’l students in the US
The Studyportals report indicates a surge in international student interest in US business masters by over 20% in the past year. Business & Management programs are highly sought after by international students in the US, with India surpassing China as a significant source country for graduate-level students. The US presents a unique opportunity for international student growth, especially as policies in other popular study destinations tighten.
To capitalize on this growth potential, universities are advised to offer more scholarships, run targeted marketing campaigns, and enhance hybrid program options. By doing so, they can attract more international students and elevate their global reputation. The report highlights the need for diversification in source countries and disciplines to reduce reliance on students from a single study destination.
STEM and business programs in the US continue to attract Indian students due to the promising career prospects in these fields. Indian students are less interested in social sciences but keen on business management, computer science, and engineering. Medical and health programs also draw significant global student interest, with top countries like Canada, Kenya, and Saudi Arabia showing enthusiasm for US medical schools.
