PROFILE OF INTERNATIONAL AND SCHOLARS FALL SEMESTER 2006 Office of International Students & Scholars International Programs
Students and scholars from other countries are an important component of The University of Iowa, and contribute significantly to teaching, research, and other scholarly activities throughout UI. This is the second annual report on the international students and scholars who are members of The University of Iowa community. This statistical analysis of this population is but one way to document the impact of this component of international education and demonstrate the global reach of The University of Iowa. While this report has been compiled by the Office of International Students and Scholars, many other offices have provided us with data that is included in the publication. Particularly, the Office of the Registrar, the Faculty and Staff Immigration Services unit of Human Resources and the Office of Admissions have contributed significant pieces of information, and we thank them for their efforts and support. The University of Iowa, like all higher education institutions in the United States, faces many challenges in continuing to attract the best and brightest of the world to our classrooms and laboratories. The impact of tightening immigration rules and negative attitudes towards the U.S. has resulted in fewer students and scholars applying to our institution. Hopefully, recent events, which have begun to ease the visa process and welcome students for their contributions, will turn around this trend. Questions on the information included in this report, or suggestions on ways to improve future editions, can be addressed to Scott King, Director, Office of International Students & Scholars at 319-335-0335 or scott-king@uiowa.edu.

While the Open Doors definition has gone through minor changes over the years, use of the Open Doors definition allows us to compare statistics for The University of Iowa with those of other institutions and with national trends. Readers should note that the reports prepared by the Office of the Registrar for the Iowa Board of Regents enumerates international students according to a different, Board of Regents approved, definition.

In addition to those individuals who entered the U.S. on student visas, this population includes students in dependent, working, and other non-educational immigration statuses. The national census of international students also enumerates those who have completed their educational programs and are in a period of approved post-graduation training.

THE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA INTERNATIONAL STUDENT POPULATION The Economic Impact of the International Student Population With few exceptions, international students are classified as nonresidents for tuition purposes. Thus, the annual 2-semester budget for a typical undergraduate international student is nearly $28,000. The estimate for a graduate student paying out-of-state tuition is approximately $28,000; a graduate assistant (who qualifies for in-state rates as part of the benefits of this appointment) has a budget of $16,000. Professional programs are typically more expensive, with the MBA budget of $35,800 and College of Law costs of $43,600 for nonresident students. These estimates include two semester s tuition and books and 12 months of typical living and personal expenses. NAFSA: Association of International Educators compiles annual statistics on the economic impact of international students, taking into account typical levels of US support, dependents present in the US, and other factors that influence spending of international students. According to this estimate, international students at The University of Iowa contribute nearly $47,600,000 per year to the local economy. The same report estimates the economic impact of international students for the entire State of Iowa in excess of $164,000,000 and nationwide to be nearly $13 billion. Dependents of International Students The University s international community includes 504 dependents in derivative immigration status (F-2 or J-2), accompanying 375 international students at The University of Iowa. This tally of 329 spouses and 174 dependent children does not include the many married couples who are both students, the numerous U.S. born children of international students who derive U.S. citizenship from their birth, or the increasing number of unmarried partners and parents who are a part of international student households (the latter two categories enter the U.S. as visitors as U.S. immigration law does not accord them dependent immigration status).

Due partly to recent national declines in international student numbers, UI has seen slightly more growth than national trends, but the now declining UI numbers is closing the gap.
