KATHMANDU — The number of Nepali students studying in the United States has reached an all-time high, with a 10.9% increase over the past year. According to the latest Open Doors report, 16,742 Nepali students are now enrolled in U.S. universities, placing Nepal as the 10th leading country of origin for international students in the United States.

Nepal’s growth reflects broader trends in international student mobility. The United States welcomed over 1.1 million students from around the world during the 2023/2024 academic year, reaffirming its position as the top destination for international education.

Moreover, India has surpassed China as the leading place of origin for international students in the U.S., with 331,602 Indian students enrolled—a significant 23% increase from the previous year. Growth was particularly notable at the graduate level (+19%) and in Optional Practical Training (OPT) programs (+41%).

China, while maintaining its strong presence, experienced a 4% decline in student numbers, with 277,398 students in the U.S. Despite this, China remains the top-sending country for undergraduates (87,551 students) and non-degree programs (5,517 students). OPT enrollments for Chinese students increased by 12% to 61,552.

Nepal was among eight countries—including Bangladesh, Colombia, Ghana, India, Italy, Pakistan, and Spain—that recorded all-time high numbers of students in the U.S. Sub-Saharan Africa had the highest regional growth rate for the second consecutive year, with a 13% increase in 2023/24, building on an 18% surge in 2022/23.

According to interest of International students, STEM fields continue to dominate international student interest, with 56% of all students enrolled in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics disciplines. Math and computer science remain the leading field, accounting for 25% of international students, followed by engineering at 19%. Other popular areas of study include business and management (14%), physical and life sciences (8%), social sciences (8%), and fine and applied arts (5%).

California, New York, and Texas hosted the highest numbers of international students. The Midwest also experienced significant growth, particularly in Missouri (35%), Michigan (14%), and Illinois (13%).

The United States’ enduring reputation as a hub for global education is reflected in these record numbers, with the latest figures demonstrating a strong recovery and growth in international student enrollment post-pandemic. As Nepali students and others continue to pursue opportunities in the U.S., the impact on academic institutions, local economies, and cultural exchange remains profound.
