Alabama’s International Student Decline | Birmingham News
Description
Alabama’s foreign student enrollment hit a new low this year, dropping 544 from last year’s 7,700 to 7,175 — a trend mirroring global declines. While undergrad numbers rose, graduate enrollment fell, with India, Bangladesh, China, and Nigeria still dominating the student flow. Experts warn the drop could cost Alabama over $8 million and nationwide more than $1 billion, threatening jobs and cultural diversity. Top schools Auburn and UAB still lead, but both saw declines — signaling a complex, unfolding challenge for higher education and the economy.
