The trend of Chinese students studying in the United States has become crazy

The trend of Chinese students studying in the United States has become crazy. The increasing number of Chinese middle class has stimulated a wave of Chinese students studying in the United States. 2010 to 2011…

According to the latest survey report of the Council of Graduate Schools, the number of Chinese college students applying to U.S. graduate schools in 2012 will increase by 18% in September this year. This data reveals in advance that the number of Chinese college students studying in U.S. graduate schools continues to rise. The study abroad programs chosen by most Chinese students are: engineering, business and earth sciences.

According to analysts from the American Graduate School Group, the number of Chinese students studying in the United States increased by 20% and 21% respectively in 2010 and 2011. This data has maintained double-digit growth every year for seven consecutive years. In 2012, the number of Chinese students studying in graduate schools in the United States accounted for half of the number of international students in the United States. 514,298 international students have applied for study abroad programs in the United States. The final number of international students who have successfully applied will be announced this summer.

The reason is largely due to the increase in the number of Chinese middle class, which pays more and more attention to the education of their children and invests large sums of money in expensive universities in the United States, resulting in a substantial increase in the number of international students studying in the United States. At the same time, the quality of the education system at Chinese universities continues to improve, and more and more Chinese students are finding that studying in the United States is just around the corner. In addition, the increase in the number of Chinese students studying in the United States has driven their friends and classmates around them to apply to study in the United States. This is the so-called "exponential effect."

Among the international students applying to graduate schools in the United States, the proportion of Chinese students greatly exceeds that of other countries. The proportion of graduate students from South Korea and India studying in the United States has also increased in the past two years.

U.S. colleges and universities are also committed to attracting Chinese students. Administrators said that some international students doing academic research will contact U.S. colleges and universities to find project research partners during the investigation process. In the end, these international students are likely to become students in lucrative executive education projects in U.S. business schools.

Ohio State University in the United States, which graduates approximately 10,000 graduate students every year, has opened an office to recruit international students in Shanghai, China. The number of international students recruited by this project from various countries this year has increased by 18% compared with 2011; the number of international students recruited in China has increased by 29%; the number of international students recruited in India has increased by 3%.

Major graduate schools in the United States say they will not be complacent about the current rising number of international students because the market is still strong.

According to data from American graduate schools, the number of international students recruited in the United States accounted for 20% of the total in 2010, and the number of international students recruited in 2011 rose to 28%.

The American Council of Graduate Schools conducts surveys on its member universities in February, June and September every year to count the number of applicants, admitted students and actually registered international students in each university's graduate school. The Graduate Council's data comes from 145 graduate schools across the country, including the 25 U.S. colleges and universities with the largest number of international students.
