Chronicle of Higher Education : A report from the Council of Graduate Schools states that new enrollments of international graduate students grew by 8% this fall, the largest increase since 2006. Most of those students came from China, with graduate enrollments from that country increasing by 21%. Enrollments of graduate students from the Middle East and Turkey increased 14%. Enrollments of Indian and South Korean graduate students were flat or nearly so, but that represents an improvement after several years of dwindling enrollment. US institutions that enroll the largest number of graduate students saw the greatest rates of growth in the number of international students. One hundred US institutions enroll 60% of all international graduate students.
