Facts & Figures: Education Abroad Goes Mainstream

As education abroad becomes more mainstream, student mobility is changing. More students are going abroad to a wider range of destinations.


Open Doors
The Institute of International Education has conducted this annual statistical survey since 1948. Open Doors site contains information on community college student flows, as well as the Atlas of Student Mobility.

Atlas of Student Mobility
The Institute of International Education's (IIE) Project Atlas tracks migration trends of the millions of students who pursue education outside of their home countries each year. Data are collected on student movement patterns, country of origin, as well as leading destinations for trans-national higher education.

Auburn University includes quotes about international education from public figures on its Web pages, some of which demonstrate that international education, including education abroad, is increasingly appearing in the general lexicon.
