International student enrollment<\/a>\u00a0increased last year, according to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security \u2014 contrary to data the agency previously posted, which showed a decline.<\/p>\n A new analysis<\/a>\u00a0by Chris Glass, a professor\u00a0at Boston College, found that student and exchange visitor information system data<\/a> issued by DHS underreported the number of international students<\/a> by more than 200,000 \u2014 an error that the agency corrected this month. Glass flagged the change on July 7.<\/p>\n The numbers from SEVIS, a division of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, show overseas enrollments totaled 1,294,231 in September, compared to the earlier-reported, erroneous figure of 1,091,182. SEVIS data tracks college students as well students in public and private high schools, language training, flight schools and vocational schools, among other programs.<\/p>\n More from Personal Finance:<\/strong> The corrected data shows year-over-year growth of 6.5%, according to Glass. This is largely in line with Open Doors<\/a>\u00a0data, released by the U.S. Department of State and the Institute of International Education, which also found that the U.S. hosted a record number of students from abroad in the 2023-24 academic year.\u00a0<\/p>\n The revised numbers show \u201crobust growth,\u201d Glass told CNBC. \u201cIt\u2019s critical data at a moment when people are paying close attention to the number of international students in the U.S.\u201d<\/p>\n SEVIS did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n For now, the fate of international enrollment at Harvard and elsewhere is still up in the air.<\/p>\n In early June, Harvard President Alan Garber\u00a0said<\/a> in a statement\u00a0that \u201cHarvard\u2019s Schools continue to make plans to ensure that our international students and scholars will be able to pursue their academic work fully.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n People hold up signs during the Harvard Students for Freedom rally in support of international students at the Harvard University campus in Boston, Massachusetts, on May 27, 2025. <\/p>\n Rick Friedman | Afp | Getty Images<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Although international undergraduate and graduate students in the U.S. make up slightly less than 6% of the total U.S. higher education population, at Harvard, the share of international students is disproportionately high.<\/p>\n International students\u00a0accounted<\/a>\u00a0for 27% of Harvard\u2019s total enrollment in the 2024-25 academic year, up from 22.5% a decade earlier.<\/p>\n Subscribe to CNBC on YouTube.<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
