Your comment has an implication bigger than your point. Returning to their home countries… are there not American PHD at American university? Has the ratio of native to international shifted over the years?
I’m being somewhat sarcastic, given I see an overwhelming representation of internationals in the American grad/phd programs I’m familiar with. But I honestly don’t have insight across every department. I’d be interested what people have to say about this across STEM throughout the country. Anyone have a rough idea on the trend lines?
- Bromeo 2mo agoTop stem grad programs at US universities have around 50% international students, with Stanford CS, for instance, as high as 68%. This is according to published university data and matches my own observation. https://facts.mit.edu/enrollment-statistics/ https://facts.mit.edu/enrollment-statistics/ https://hai.stanford.edu/assets/files/hai_ai-index-report-2023_chapter_5.pdf https://hai.stanford.edu/assets/files/hai_ai-index-report-20...
- talon8635 2mo agoThis I know. My question is, has it always been so, or are Americans decreasing and internationals increasing? I know international representation has generally increased in academics due to their cash cow status with higher tuition rates and most restricted employment options… but I don’t know if this applies specifically to PhD and grad just the same If so, then the bigger story here is, why is America producing fewer and fewer high academic achievers (PhD, grad, high school reading level, all the way down to lower ed)
