are vital to the university community … By bringing the most talented and promising students and scholars to our campus, we foster new discoveries and advance our mission of ‘improving the world today and for future generations’.” Peter Salovey President; and Chris Argyris Professor Psychology May 2019 International Student & Scholar Report • Fall 2019 • Yale University INTRODUCTION The Office of International Students and Scholars (OISS) is pleased to share the Fall 2019 report on International Student and Scholars In this report you will find the Fall 2019 International Student Enrollment Report as well as the International Scholar Report for the academic year 2018-2019 The student report is a snapshot of the Fall 2019 enrollment; the scholar report is compiled annually at the end of the academic year The international student and scholar presence at Yale continues to increase, although on the student side the increase is smaller than the ten preceding years at 0.6% The national trend has shown declining numbers, but like our peers, Yale’s enrollment continues to increase The international scholar presence at Yale in 2018-2019 saw a 3.5% increase over the previous academic year, consistent with the growth over the last few years The places of origin of Yale’s international community remains fairly consistent over the years both in terms of number of countries represented (120) and top ten sending nations The Chinese student and scholar presence continues to grow with a 10% increase in both The country of citizenship representation in these reports is based on the passport/travel document the individual used to enter the United States, but does not reflect the full richness of our international community For example, students born in the U.S who lived outside the U.S for most of their lives may consider themselves “international”, but in fact are “counted” as U.S domestic A postdoc’s passport would not show that they had lived and studied in a third country These anomalies are not reflected in the statistics but exist throughout the institution and should be acknowledged and celebrated Uncertainty about the future of U.S immigration policy continues to be of concern to U.S institutions of higher education and the international student and scholar community as the anti-immigrant rhetoric and policy and practice continues Most notably was the policy change in unlawful presence in the fall of 2018 (temporarily enjoined by the federal district court) and a change in the public charge rule in 2019 and most significantly USCIS adjudication delays in processing applications for F-1 work authorization and H-1B applications USCIS also has continued to revise its process- es, resulting in historic delays while increasing filing fees There remain items on the Trump Administration’s Unified Agenda of Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions that would have very negative effects on international student and scholar mobility if enacted The future of F-1 optional practical training is uncertain with a court challenge pending While it is hard to predict which if any of these will see the light of day, their mere presence contributes to the anxiety and uncertainty for students and scholars exploring educational options in the U.S In addition to the pressing work of immigration advising and compliance, OISS continues to offer support to our international community through a robust offering of programming and communications Despite increasing numbers, we are still able to offer an inperson welcome to each newly arrived student and scholar OISS also organized over 130 programs during the 2018-2019 academic year, along with our daily English conversation groups and the weekly meetings of the ISPY (International Spouses and Partners at Yale) groups Like many occasions for engagement around campus, the availability of OISS programs can make an important difference in feeling valued as a member of the Yale community A major undertaking for OISS this past year has been the implementation of a new software program for the management of institutional compliance and international student and scholar records The new product also offers tools for enhancing communication with students and scholars for streamlining the OISS workload With the help of institutional partners in ITS and the Office of the Registrar, we expect the full implementation to be completed in the Spring 2020 semester In closing, it is important to recognize the expertise and dedication of the OISS staff who continue to work tirelessly in support of Yale’s international community A particular note of appreciation to Jesse Kallivrousis, Molly Hampton, Erin Gustafson and Sarah Solarski for their contributions in preparing this report Ann Kuhlman, Executive Director, Office of International Students and Scholars January, 2019 International Student & Scholar Report • Fall 2019 • Yale University OISS welcomed s t u d e n t s in Fall 2019 International Student & Scholar Report • Fall 2019 • Yale University INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS The Fall 2019 international student enrollment1 represents the largest international student enrollment in Yale’s history, 3014 students from 120 countries (22% of Yale student enrollment) The Fall 2019 enrollment represents a small increase (0.6%) over that of the Fall 2018 The last five years have seen an increase of 17% and a 48% increase in the last decade While most of the schools held fairly close to the enrollment numbers of the previous year (see page 10), several schools did see an increase in their international student enrollments over that of Fall 2018 • 17% increase (86 to 100) in the School of Public Health • 14% increase (100 to 114) in the one-year programs at the School of Management The international student enrollment in the MBA program was down by 11% (28 students) • 10% increase (96 to 106) in the School of Architecture • 10% increase (944 to 1039) in the PhD programs of Graduate School of Arts & Sciences There was a 5% decrease in the masters’ programs The top ten sending countries (see page 13) remain constant and nine of the top ten sending countries saw only small fluctuations Turkey and Japan (#9 and #10) were replaced by Mexico and Australia Nationally, as at Yale, China continues to be the top place of origin for international students in the U.S Nationally, in 2018, China represented 33% of international students in the U.S In fall 2019, China represented 32% (963) of the Yale international student population, an increase of 9.5% over the previous year The numbers of students from China has seen continual growth, increasing by 56% in the last five years and 140% in the last ten The growth in the number of students from China is reflected in the growth of students from East Asia Most other world regions saw little change except for Africa where the enrollment in Fall 2019 decreased by 12% (19 students) and the Middle East where student numbers decreased by 15% (20 students.) The use of post-completion optional practical training (OPT)2 saw a 22.5% increase (from 640 to 784), including a small increase from 205 to 211 students on STEM OPT This report includes matriculated students, including non-degree students, who are not U.S citizens or U.S permanent residents Of the 3014 total, 2671 held F-1 students visas and 303 held J-1 exchange visitor status International students in F or J status may remain in the U.S under Yale’s visa sponsorship after graduation for a period of practical training employment (12 months for F-1 and up to 18 months for J-1 students.) F-1 students in a STEM field may extend, if the employment meets certain requirements, the OPT period for an additional 24 months (STEM OPT) International Student & Scholar Report • Fall 2019 • Yale

Yale It made me feel comfortable, adjusted and supported I would it all again in a heartbeat.” “OIS was a fantastic program and I am incredibly glad that I participated in it I felt far more prepared to navigate life at Yale as a result of it.” International Student & Scholar Report • Fall 2019 • Yale University 23 scholars from 2018-2019 24 International Student & Scholar Report • Fall 2019 • Yale University INTERNATIONAL SCHOL ARS International scholar statistics are compiled at the end of each academic year and represent individuals who have spent some part of the academic year on campus engaged in research, teaching, collaboration and/or observation Also included are students from universities outside the United States who come to Yale as visiting undergraduate student researchers or in other internship capacities Not included in these numbers are individuals who come to Yale in tourist or visitor status The academic year 2018-2019 again saw an increase in the number of international scholars hired and hosted by Yale, hitting a high of 2789 scholars from 100 countries This represents an increase of 3.5% over the academic year 2017-2018 Over the last five years there has been a 13% growth in these numbers and 35% growth in the last ten Sixty percent of international scholars are affiliated with the Yale School of Medicine and 26% with the Faculty of Arts and Sciences which is consistent with previous years The majority are engaged in the University’s research activities with 38% holding the title of postdoctoral associate or fellow, 14% the title of postgraduate associate or fellow and 9% the title of associate research scientist Compared to the previous academic year there is a 1% decrease in the numbers of postdoctoral associates/ fellows and a 1% increase in postgraduate appointments The academic year 2018-2019 did see an increase in the numbers of students coming to Yale for internships using the J-1 Student Intern category, from 145 in the academic year 2017-2018 to 205 in 2018-2019 (a 41% increase) Student interns represent 7.4% of the total international scholar population The majority are at Yale under the Visiting Undergraduate Student in Research/Clinical Activities program The top ten places of origin remain nearly the same as they have in the past ten years, with China again leading the list with 895 scholars, a 10% increase from the previous academic year The number of scholars from Brazil increased by 23%, putting Brazil as the ninth most common place of origin “I felt very much at home in New Zealand; my parents took care of everything for me But when you go to a new country, you need to start a new life and rebuild your social circles Since I had spent my whole life in New Zealand, I was always in an environment where I knew who I could go to for what I always thought of myself as an introvert, but once you no longer have people you can go to immediately, I discovered I was strong and more social than I ever realized I started going to events organized by the YPA [Yale Postdoctoral Association] and OISS to meet new people and to meet friends My circles quickly expanded, and I connected with other like-minded people at Yale I’m so glad I noticed this need early on and took action to remedy the situation It was challenging at first but now I love my new home and my new friends.”
