Abstract
In 1960, foreign students made up 1.5 percent of the college student population in the United States. By 1980, that figure had jumped to 2.6 percent, an estimated 311 880 of total college enrollment. At the present rate of growth, foreign student enrollment could reach 1 million, or 10 percent of all students, by the 1990s. It is interesting to note that in 1980, 25.8 percent of foreign students were enrolled in engineering fields and another 6.1 percent were in mathematics and computer science fields. There is every reason to believe that these percentages will continue to increase.
