The Open Doors report for the 2023-2024 academic year showed a record high 1.1 million students from around the world studied in the United States, a 7 percent increase from 2022-2023. International students contributed over $50 billion to the U.S. economy, supporting academic campuses and their surrounding communities.

@DrBanneker

Is there current data about HBCUs and the number and % of international students enrolled?

I have some old articles and fact sheets with pre-pandemic figures. They covered how the schools were actively expanding recruitment of international students .

What is saw from then had Tennessee State at 8%, Fisk at 3%,

With Morgan St, Howard, and Tennessee St having the highest numbers of int. students.

We've covered some of the deals/programs put in place since those articles were published

If the schools mentioned in OP are projected to lose a lot of revenue, I'd imagine that the HBCUs will take a bigger hit relatively

Here you go. Florida Memorial (in Miami) is high for obvious reasons. The top 25 end up around 2.3% at Claflin and UMES. Notably Morehouse didn't report any data and Spelman reported 0.5% which seems low to me for such a famous school but oh well.

Thanks for putting this together.
MD and Texas schools, I'd imagine with Nigerian students.

Post #3 details the economic benefit that colleges receive from international students coming here, paying FULL tuition (higher rate than in state, and out of state US students) and paying for housing, food, etc while they are here.
And the leaders of the schools lament the possible loss of revenue.


Tell them hit the bricks the job market is full.

You really dont understand the topic being discussed.
The school leaders are saying that its an economic benefit for the school and the town for them to study here . Blew up your "immigrants in a downturn" comment.

And in vast majority, of the cases, the int. students' status and work authorization stops after their studies are completed . And they return to home country .This was true, for decades before Trump even took office the 1st time. Which blows up your "job competition" comment.

You really dont know what you're talking about here.

not enough of us are applying to hbcu's.
there is even a segment of us that discourage higher education altogether because of cost and "perceived" roi.
hbcus, in order for them to stay in operation, will have to adapt and open themselves up to new demographics to keep the lights on.
it's survival.
I would rather have black diasporans and african students attend these schools to make up black american shortfalls than to see them close.

International students on OPT visas can work after graduating and there is no cap on those visas.
