International Student Enrollment
According to 2018-19 data from the Institute of International Education (IIE) Open Doors 2019 report, U-M
ranked fifteenth nationally among all universities (tenth among public research institutions) in terms of
“hosting” international students. The Open Doors report includes both enrolled students and those on post-
completion Optional Practical Training (full-time work authorization after completion of studies). Therefore,
Open Doors 2019 indicates that U-M “hosted” 8,726 international students in Fall Semester, 2018 and not the
6,976 reported as enrolled by the International Center based on Fall Semester 2018 data from the Office of the
Registrar. In Fall Semester 2019, U-M enrolled 7,255 international students from 130 countries.
Note: The number of enrolled students reported by the International Center differs slightly from the number reported by the Office of the
Registrar because the International Center report does not include students in pending permanent resident status. It also does not
include students who are counted in this report under a different category, such as international employee.
