As we reflect on this past year, we’re excited to look ahead to 2025 and all the opportunities it brings for collaboration, growth, and student success. We wish you a joyful holiday season and look forward to working with you in the year to come!

Biggest Year Ever for International Students |
We’re back! Or perhaps more accurately: they’re back! After experiencing a 15% loss in international student enrollment in 2020/2021 due to the global pandemic, the US surpassed its pre-covid numbers by over 50,000. Over 50% of the 1.1 million international students came from India and China, signaling a strong recovery and return to global exchange. We are excited to see international education continuing to trend upwards. See what other Open Doors data we are encouraged by in our most recent blog post.
